Here\u2019s what people were saying about the news:<\/p>\n

Michael Scotto:<\/a> \u201cThe New York Knicks have signed former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to an Exhibit 9 deal, team says. The 25-year-old center has averaged 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game in five seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stefan Bondy:<\/a> \u201cThe Knicks have officially signed Bruce Brown<\/a>, Jon Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks<\/a> and Ochai Agbaji<\/a> to Exhibit 9 (nonguaranteed) contracts. Why do this? Like last year, the they\u2019re setting up a competition for a roster spot. As constituted, the Knicks can only keep one of those players while staying under the second apron. A trade could free up more space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Fischer:<\/a> \u201cAnd a wild James Wiseman has appeared! New York announces the former No. 2 overall pick is joining the Knicks on an Exhibit 9 as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Macri:<\/a> \u201cRe: James Wiseman\u2026 \u2013 Former 2nd overall pick had some shit injury luck, tearing his Achilles in the first game of the 24-25 season. Played just 4 games last season. \u2013 The talent is obviously there but we\u2019ve seen plenty of highly drafted bigs never make good on their promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

@KnicksNation:<\/a> \u201cI could easily see James Wiseman, Bruce Brown and John Konchar<\/a> all making this Knicks roster. And if that\u2019s the case\u2026 you have to wonder if a trade is coming soon. \ud83d\udc40\u201d<\/p>\n
