According to Washington Post, Joakim Noah is going to ready to sign with the New York Knicks with a $18 million salary per season.
The 31 years old French big man finished the season having played just 29 games due to a shoulder surgery in January, averaging just 4.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Both he and Pau Gasol are expected to leave Chicago and the Knicks are the destination of Noah.
Noah will be reunited with Rose in New York, after the Bulls shipped the NBA’s most valuable player in 2011 to the Knicks last week for Robin Lopez, 2015 first-round pick Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon. Chicago is clearly shifting its focus to rebuilding around a younger roster led by all-star — and Olympian — Jimmy Butler, under Coach Fred Hoiberg.
