Knicks · Willy Hernangomez travelling to NY to sign (page 2)

Galloway's cap hold (which after Jennings and Thomas) is less than the room exception.

So either they have other solid plans for the room exception that isn't Galloway, or you don't need to rescind him right now.

Supposedly it was so they were able to sign Hernangomez to a longer (and thus cap friendlier) deal. So maybe, just maybe, we don't know as much as professional front office guys who have all the actual numbers in front of them.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek confirmed Friday that Hernangomez would spend the 2016-17 season in the NBA, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.

Hernangomez still has to sign a contract with the Knicks, but that's likely to occur once the team has finished the bulk of its shopping on the free agent market. With the Knicks already adding Joakim Noah to the frontcourt, Hernangomez will be locked into a reserve role to begin the season. Hornacek said he projects the 2015 second-round pick as a center at the NBA level, meaning he'll have to fight Kyle O'Quinn for the top backup job behind Noah.

Totally possible.

Wouldn't be shocked to see him back though. This seems like an accounting move.

I agree. I think he will actually be back. He has more value to the Knicks than another team.
