What factors will be most important to you during your first free-agency process? "An opportunity to play is huge for me. But honestly, I've had a lot of great, great memories and experiences in New York, and I've met a lot of great people here.

The 22-year-old came off an impressive playoff run just a few months after returning from a left ACL repair, and coach Mike Woodson said Tuesday, "The sky's the limit for that young man." Even when Shumpert was missing shots in the postseason, he was making up for it consistently with his defense and rebounding -- something J.R. Smith was not doing regularly.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/44900/shumpert-can-be-knicks-second-star Wed, 22 May 2013 16:25:32 EDT 44900 Iman Shumpert called the Knicks' season a failure earlier this week. Head coach Mike Woodson disagrees. He offered a very different definition of the Knicks' season on Tuesday. "Based on where we started and how we assembled our team, this was to me a wonderful season," Woodson said. "It was a major step in the right direction, to win our division, to secure the second seed, when people didn't think we could do none of those things. "Some of our goals were met, so all wasn't bad.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/44894/woodson-this-was-a-wonderful-season-for-knicks Wed, 22 May 2013 11:02:34 EDT 44894 So how do you see this Knicks' roster unfolding this summer? In the annual "Take 'Em or Trash 'Em" voting, Jason Kidd and Amar'e Stoudemire got the boot. Kidd didn't score in 208 straight minutes in the playoffs, and Stoudemire is due $21.68 million next season -- the highest on the team's payroll -- without even a guarantee from Mike Woodson that he'll start. However, fans stood behind J.R. Smith and Tyson Chandler, even though they were basically no-shows in the Pacers series.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/44875/early-results-take-em-or-trash-em Wed, 22 May 2013 10:08:52 EDT 44875 GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- J.R. Smith wants to retire as a Knick. His younger brother, Chris, tweeted, "I will be back with my big brother" next season. And Carmelo Anthony believes "without a doubt" J.R. will return. But GM Glen Grunwald is not making any guarantees about the NBA's 2012-13 Sixth Man of the Year. "I’m not going to comment on any individual player because we're not finished with our evaluation," he said Tuesday. "I don't think you should read that one way or another [about Smith].]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/44848/notebook-grunwald-non-committal-on-j-r Wed, 22 May 2013 00:49:25 EDT 44848 GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Memo to Knicks fans daydreaming about Chris Paul playing in an orange and blue uniform next season: general manager Glen Grunwald doesn't expect to make any major changes to the roster this summer. "In general, it's best to maintain continuity, familiarity," Grunwald said Tuesday on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "The Stephen A. Smith & Ryan Ruocco Show." "I don't foresee substantial changes to our roster."

White has a team option for around $1 million next season that the Knicks have to decide on by June 30. If they decline, White will become an unrestricted free agent. McCandless said White values playing time, which happened sporadically for him in New York.
