In a recent ESPN report, Cam Payne has revealed his reasons for not signing with the New York Knicks. Payne, a free agent point guard, was widely speculated to join the Knicks, but he clarified his stance in an interview. “The fit just wasn’t right,” Payne stated. He emphasized the importance of finding a team where he could make a significant impact and feel valued. “New York is a great city with passionate fans, but I need to be in a situation where I can contribute meaningfully and grow as a player.”
Payne also mentioned the Knicks’ current roster and playing style as factors in his decision. “They have a solid lineup and some talented guards, and I respect that. But I need to be somewhere I can play my game and help the team succeed in my way,” he explained. Despite the interest from New York, Payne is still exploring his options and has not yet signed with any team. He remains optimistic about finding the right fit soon. “I’m looking forward to what’s next and excited about the possibilities,” Payne concluded. The Knicks, meanwhile, continue their search for a point guard to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
