Precious Achiuwa staying put in New York

Fred Katz: Precious Achiuwa has waived his Bird veto, a league source says. Normally, a player of Achiuwa’s type who re-signs on a one-year contract receives the right to veto any deal. But since Achiuwa waived his, he CAN be traded without the ability to veto the deal. -via Twitter @FredKatz / July 30, 2024

Adrian Wojnarowski: Precious Achiuwa has agreed on a one-year, $6 million deal to return to the Knicks, his representative Raymond Brothers tells ESPN. -via Twitter @wojespn / July 30, 2024

Ian Begley: “Mitchell Robinson, he’s on the roster. He’s here now, but you know, he has a history of getting hurt. So, you need a backup center who can start 30 games next season, and I know they’ve continued to be in touch with Precious Achiuwa, their own free agent. I think they’ve also had casual trade talks with some high-salaried veterans about some high-salaried veteran centers on the trade market.” -via YouTube / July 14, 2024
