5 Players Who Won’t Be On New York Knicks In 2016-17 NBA Season

+Read full article

After a promising start, the New York Knicks are headed to another disappointing result in 2015-16. The franchise will have an even more difficult job in the offseason than they anticipated, and part of that will be deciding which players from this squad to keep going forward. These are five guys who won’t be around for 2016-17.

5. Arron Afflalo

Arron Afflalo has an $8 million player option next season, and with the cap spike he'll likely want to explore free agency again. Afflalo has been average, and he'll be 31 years old next season so the Knicks shouldn't offer him anything long-term.

4. Langston Galloway

The Knicks will have to decide whether they want to make a long-term commitment to Langston Galloway. New York needs a serious upgrade at point guard, and Galloway's recent play isn't doing him any favors.

3. Cleanthony Early

Early was Phil Jackson's first draft pick as Knicks boss. Early's been around for two seasons and has appeared in just 49 games. The strip club shooting, although certainly not his fault, definitely didn't help his case for another contract.

2. Kevin Seraphin

Kevin Seraphin came over from the Washington Wizards on a one-year deal claiming he wanted more playing time. It hasn't gone well, as he's appeared in just 35 games and is almost completely out of the rotation.

1. Jose Calderon

Jose Calderon is no longer a starting point guard in the NBA. He has to go. Phil Jackson needs to do whatever it takes to get rid of him, whether it's a buyout or a trade. If Calderon is a Knick next year, fans may riot.
