The Knicks went ahead and signed their 29th overall first round pick our of Florida State, Toney Douglas. The PG was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year last season and can earn over 900k this year and will be expected to play on the Knicks summer league team later this month.
8th Pick overall, Jordan Hill has yet to be signed so talks are still in progress.
Douglas will wear #23 this year, but hopefully not after this year.

Marbury to NBA: Remember Me?
Remember me? I'm Stephon Marbury aka 'Starbury'. Before my exile I was one of two players in NBA history to average 20 points and 8 assists for my career.
Sorry Steph, now your numbers are down to 19 and 7 and nobody wants to even come close to you, especially not the Celtics. Marc Berman reported that due to the recent signing of Rasheed Wallace, the Celtics will let Marbury walk. Steph has responded, as usual by trying to sound as if everything is okay and his ego remains untouched. "If I have to give it overseas, I'll give it overseas." He also went on to blame the Knicks a little bit for his recent unemployment issues, "The Knicks put me in a really bad situation, a really bad spot, so I'm still waiting, teams are still shopping."
At age 32, Europe might be the best thing for Steph, especially financially with the amount of money some of the European ballclubs are able to play their players. I wouldn't mind never seeing him play another game in the NBA ever again, but that's just my anger after dealing with his crap for 4 years.
NYPOST Marbury Article
Knicks Sit Still On Hill
No decision has been made yet from the Grant Hill camp, but it has been confirmed an offer was made. The offer stands at $5M for one year. It was reported the Suns' offer was $2M for one year. The Suns hold leverage in this matter due to the fact that Hill does not want to uproot his family especially his children, once again.
One credible source said the Knicks' chances of landing Hill have dropped to "50-50."
Phil Weber will be the Knicks' Las Vegas Summer League Coach beginning July 14th.
