    According to agent Marc Bartlestein, Steve Novak and the Knicks have reached agreement on a multi-year deal. Ken Berger reports that the deal is worth $15 million over the span of 4 years, and includes no options. 

    For Novak, he didn’t have anything but returning to the Knicks in mind. “As I’ve said a million times, I would just love to be back. There’s no question that coming back would be awesome.” Bartlestein also noted that he’s “thrilled” for the sharpshooter as it would’ve been difficult for Novak to return without the Union winning the early-bird rights hearing. 

    Looking ahead, this could effect re-signing J.R. Smith at the 20% increase of $2.8 million/yr. With the deal Fields and Novak were able to land, he may start to second guess his love for New York and trade it in for a larger pay check.

    According to Howard Beck of the NY Times, the arbitrator Kenneth Dam issued his ruling today, siding with the Nation Basketball Players Association. The NBPA, who challenged the NBA’s interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement, have been unexpectedly granted victory. 

    The ruling allows Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak to to re-sign with the Knicks without respect to the team’s salary cap. They will each receive an estimated $5 million salary, as the Knicks will not have to dip into their midlevel exception to sign either player. 

    This is a huge deal for the Knicks who will now have that midlevel exception on another free agent, possibly unrestricted free agents, Steve Nash or Jason Kidd- who have both recently expressed interest in signing with the Knicks. Former Knick, Raymond Felton, was also quoted over the weekend saying he New York is somewhere he could end up next season. He also noted that the ideal system for his would be the one the Knicks used when he was on the team 2 years ago.
