I don't think the Knicks are going to get long term "Thib's guys", at least not this offseason. It appears they are tooling up for years down the road since a majority of the contracts are either very small or are one year deals.

With that being said, I was surprised when the team waived Taj Gibson. I not a fan of the dude because his best years are well behind him and he was limited offensively even when he was younger, but the dude was literally a Thib's type dude on those Bulls teams and the man legitimately has NYC roots.

Tough break for him to get waived I suppose.
