03:49 PM ET 09.28 | The New York Knicks have been searching for an additional big man for over a couple of months now, and all signs are pointing to that search being over. According to a report from ESPN's Jared Zwerling, the Knicks are very close to signing Rasheed Wallace, who had his first worked out with the Knicks on Saturday. Since he had a physical already, that means a deal is all but done. Marc Berman of the New York Post also chimed in by saying a source reports that Wallace will be at Knicks training camp starting on Monday even though the power forward's agent wouldn't confirm an agreement has been reached with the team. Berman states a deal could be officially announced at some point on Friday.

Well... Philly 'ballers have always made their way to the City for some run, so... One of Philly's finest is still there to this day. The "Jesus" from whom Jesus Shuttlesworth got his name... Earl "The Pearl" Monroe! (PROPS!)

Still... X^D *Hahahahahaha!*

I wish I had more money than I knew what to do with. (Some of it) I'd throw out the window of my New York penthouse and it would still be put to better use than James Dolan as owner of the Knicks.

The Knicks R loaded but I wonder if they will play the team game this team desperatetly needs. Rasheed should help he's a veteran team player with a ring just like Kidd he also adds attitude.

Kidd, Sheed, Thomas, Camby, Yeah the 38 plus club, but I like it. Its not like the Knicks had room to go signing players at will and if you think about it...Would you rather have a buncha 21 yrs old inexperience players to help Ty, Melo & Stat out or would you rather have a bunchs old experiened champions and savy vet help them out? The cost would be the same cap wise anyways, a mil or two fa a year or two. I think thats the point everyone is missing when it comes to why the Knicks are signing all these granddads. Big Popa's all ova the place baby!
