Thought this was interesting. It sort of makes sense. Why sign a guy for 10 days if he's not gonna get a chance to crack the rotation? It does sound like they still have some interest in Wroten...

It has been two weeks since teams were able to offer 10-day contracts, and the Knicks have yet to act despite having an open roster spot and small forward Cleanthony Early being out until March with a gunshot wound to his right knee.

According to a person familiar with the club’s thought process, the available players, including point guard Tony Wroten, wouldn’t crack the rotation, so a 10-day contract would be wasteful. If a rotation player sustained a serious injury, then the club would act — possibly on Wroten or Jimmer Fredette — pending the position of need.

If Lance Thomas’ left-knee injury were deemed more serious, the Knicks probably would have signed somebody.

Thomas missed the Knicks’ 118-111 overtime victory over the Jazz on Wednesday, the first time he has missed a game this season. But doctors have determined he has a mild knee sprain. Thomas said he believes he could be back as soon as Friday versus the Clippers.

“It’s a sore knee, mild little sprain,’’ Thomas said. “I”m just going to rest it. It’s nothing that will keep me out. An MRI [exam] wasn’t necessary.’’

Thomas injured the knee when he got kicked Monday in the fourth quarter by Sixers center Nerlens Noel.

The Knicks also are contemplating using a 10-day contract on a young free agent, but that player would then play some games in the D-League with their Westchester affiliate on an experimental basis to learn the triangle while also practicing with the Knicks.

Wroten, cut by the Sixers last month, tweeted the other day a picture of himself in a Knicks uniform then deleted it. The Knicks have some interest because they consider him a good penetrator, an active defender, strong in the passing lanes but also are concerned about his tendency to gamble on defense.

Sounds like some pretty good points to me but although we don't have enough injured players to bring someone in we still need a different type at the point guard position which is someone with athleticism that can drive to the basket and play defense so i guess we'll see soon what Phil has planned.

I really hope they give Jimmer a chance. This would also help out the Westchester Knicks for landing spot for D-League prospects as they can see that they take care of their own.
