If true, it could end Dampier pursuit
Erick Dampier may be willing to take the Knicks´ $4.9 million mid-level exception . .. but is it already gone?
Vin Baker´s agent, Aaron Goodwin, told ESPN Insider Chad Ford on Thursday that Baker already has agreed to a multiyear contract with the Knicks that starts at $3.5 million -- eating most of New York´s mid-level exception.
" Vin is done," Goodwin told Ford. " The [Knicks] mid-level is gone. . .. Vin [contract] starts at $3.5 [million], which negates Dampier for mid-level."
