He was going to get the bare minimum as a player. He'll get his pay as a coach. (It's not under the cap!)

Just a great guy all around, and I really appreciate him.

Putside of Buck Williams & Herb Williams he's my favorite 36+ year old Knick Vet

Taj will be on the playoff roster. But I get why he had to be off now

Taj stepped up in a big way to help our team this season and has had an immeasurable impact on our organization both on and off the court throughout his time with the Knicks. He was instrumental in helping us build the foundation and create the Knicks culture that exists today. We're extremely grateful and thank Taj for all of his contributions.

Once a Knick, always a Knick!

nah - the Wiz are still on the hook for signing him near the end of the summer. That contract was fully guaranteed at $3M.
