Report: Knicks shopping Kuzminskas to create room for Noah

The New York Knicks need to make a roster move this week, which could be good news for one disgruntled player.

New York recently reached out to teams to gauge interest in Mindaugas Kuzminskas, opposing executives told ESPN's Ian Begley.

The report comes just days after the Lithuanian forward expressed disappointment in his reduced role and rumors swirled that his reps are gauging trade interest in him.

As it stands, the Knicks have a full roster and need to trim it to 14 to accommodate Joakim Noah, who'll return Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't played since February, and will be active after serving a 20-game suspension for violating the league's anti-drug policy.

Begley described interest in Kuzminskas as "unclear," and if New York fails to swing a deal for him in the next few days, veteran point guard Ramon Sessions is regarded as the likely candidate to be waived.

Noah reportedly also remains on the trading block, but the Knicks have struggled to find a team willing to take on the 32-year-old center's albatross of a contract, which has three years and about $56 million remaining.
