Bargnani, who is an unrestricted free agent this summer, said he plans to remain in the NBA and would like to stay with the Knicks, Sportando reports. "I am happy with the Knicks," Bargnani said. "I love the city and the organization. There is an important project here."
Analysis:
Bargnani's career has been derailed by injuries over the past several seasons, and he has not played more than 42 games since 2010-11. Due to various injuries, the former No. 1 overall pick only saw time in 29 games this season but showed that he can still be a productive player, averaging 14.8 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting 45.4 percent from the floor. Given his history of inconsistency, Bargnani is not likely to receive a major offer in free agency, but that doesn't mean he won't generate considerable interest. The Knicks are yet to indicate whether or not they'll entertain the possibility of bringing Bargnani back on a new contract.
