WASHINGTON — Before Jonas Valanciunas signed his three-year, $32 million deal with the Wizards — a free agent contract that felt almost immediately like a future trade piece — the bruising center heard a little bit about the Knicks’ interest.
“I don’t know how serious that was. My agent was handling,” Valanciunas told The Post. “I heard something from that side. But there’s a lot of X’s and O’s. Salary cap issues, this and that. Strategic stuff. Every team does what they think is the best for them.”
The Knicks, of course, went the route of Karl-Anthony Towns, keeping their salary cap as necessarily below the second luxury tax apron as possible while they plotted the arrival of his mᴀssive contract.
