Ochai Agbaji Rumors

Ian Begley: All of the veterans - John Konchar, Bruce Brown, Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks - are on training camp deals. They will compete for open roster spot. Knicks would have to trade player on NBA deal if they wanted to keep two vets. If not, they’ll likely have to choose between a big man and a wing. Knicks have all two-ways open. Liam Robbins will have chance to compete for 2 way. I assume Tyler Nickel gets a two way deal. Kevin McCullar Jr. has been working out with Knick players this month, remains on NYK radar.

Barry Jackson: For those asking about Gabe Vincent, there has been no Heat offer. Knicks brought him to New York earlier this week. New York signed 5 vets today to compete for 1 or 2 roster spots: Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, Ochai Agbaji. Heat, which is hard-capped, added Nick Richards on this type of non-guaranteed deal but otherwise is holding onto a spot in case something needle-moving shakes free in months ahead.

With the salary cap situation the Raptors are in, March 15 was the first day they could add a player at the pro-rated minimum salary and stay under the luxury tax threshold, which was the impetus for Toronto trading Ochai Agbaji at the deadline in February. It doesn’t sound like the Raptors are in a rush to sign a player for the remainder of the season, but they are planning to use the roster spot and the flexibility they have to sign someone to a 10-day contract. Just looking at the calendar, if the Raptors add a 10-day signee on Wednesday before they play the Chicago Bulls, they could have him on their roster for a stretch of six games: their entire five-game west-coast road trip and their first game back in Toronto on March 27 against the New Orleans Pelicans. As for who? That’s a different question. The Raptors have seen some encouraging signs from Markelle Fultz with Raptors 905, but you get the sense they’d like to see him get closer to NBA game shape after a long lay-off before committing there. We’ll see.

Josh Lewenberg: Small Agbaji story that speaks to his character. I was standing by the court before his 1st game in Toronto; he walked over, shook my hand and said "Ochai." Me, awkwardly & not used to NBA players coming over to introduce themselves: "I know." Enjoyed covering him & wish him luck
