Isiah Still Counting On Jackie Butler To Return
Quote:
Jackie Butler is not with the Knicks' summer-league team, but Isiah Thomas said yesterday he expects the free-agent center to be with the club in October at training camp in Charleston, S.C.
The Knicks have extended a $1 million qualifying offer to the 6-10 center, but his agent, Keith Glass, believes he will get a larger offer from one of four teams. However, the Knicks can match, and sources within the club said they plan to, within reason.
"We like Jackie, we want to keep him, but it's a long summer," Thomas said. "Our intention is to re-sign him."
Thomas said he wanted Butler to play summer league but understood the risk of him getting injured. Butler is perfect insurance in case Jerome James reports out of shape again. And Butler's presence could prod James. Meanwhile, the Bulls are monitoring the situation since they are looking for a low-post scorer.

Looks like Isiah received the green light to open up Dolan's checkbook.
