Multiple sources are saying the Knicks won't be picking up his option:
http://theknicksblog.com/knicks/knicks-wont-pick-up-shane-larkins-option/ I guess they have their reasons. Hopefully Shane stays focused and doesn't let this affect him. Having Shumpert going through a similar situation should help him. Both of these young men need to stay focused and perform. The better they play the better their financial future becomes. Incentive to keep bringing it. |

Plus, worst comes to the worst and we needed that $1.2mil, we could easily trade him. By not picking up his option, it also lessens his trade value by the trade deadline- so even if he plays really well, teams wouldn't part with much because the could just sign him outright as a FA. |
