Marcus Camby - F/C - Knicks

Marcus Camby's agent reiterated Thursday that his client intends to return next season.

Camby's agent said the same thing in mid-May after Camby played in just 24 games this season. The veteran big man suffered through plantar fasciitis but is under contract through the 2014-15 season and has no reason to retire as long as he can suit up by training camp. We don't expect much out of the soon-to-be-40-year old and he doesn't deserve any consideration in fantasy formats.

Carmelo Anthony - F - Knicks

The Knicks have not updated the status of Carmelo Anthony (shoulder) since revealing he had a small tear in his labrum.

The initial plan was to see if the injury would heal without surgery and the team would reevaluate him in three weeks, but it's been nearly four weeks and we still haven't heard if Anthony will need surgery. It could be seen as a positive sign, but given the Knicks history of how they disclose injuries, we can't say for certain. Surgery could sideline Anthony up to three months if he goes under the knife.

Mike Woodson - C - Knicks

The Knicks will target a point guard or interior help in June's draft, according to beat writer Jared Zwerling.

This shouldn't surprise anyone who saw the Knicks' serious lack of youth at point guard and in the front court. New York loaded up on veterans like Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby prior to the season, but none of them were a factor after February. With Kidd retiring and Pablo Prigioni a free agent, the Knicks would be wise to try to find a future backcourt mate for Iman Shumpert who can learn under Raymond Felton's tutelage. While the Knicks have been linked to Miami PG Shane Larkin, he'll likely be gone by the time New York picks. The Knicks also need someone up front to back up Tyson Chandler and the eternally-injured Amare Stoudemire.

Cuttino Mobley - G - Knicks

Free agent Cuttino Mobley recently participated in the ASM Sports Pro Day in Las Vegas.

Mobley was forced into retirement in 2008 because of a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It's the same ailment that led to the deaths of Reggie Lewis and Hank Gathers. Mobley now says he is fully cleared and wants back in the NBA. But at age 37, it's highly unlikely to happen.

J.R. Smith - G/F - Knicks

J.R. Smith will decline his $2.9 million player option for 2013-14, making him an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

One day after the Knicks' season ended, Smith said that he wanted to "retire as a Knick." New York could sign him for four years at $4.9 million per season, using their Early Bird rights, and an anonymous source told ESPN that it's "likely" J.R. will stay with the Knicks. He was awful in the playoffs but finished with regular season averages of 18.1 points, 1.9 threes, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals, en route to Sixth Man of the Year honors.

Rasheed Wallace - F/C - Knicks

Rasheed Wallace told ESPN New York he's unsure of what the future holds for him within the Knicks organization.

Wallace remained with the team as an adviser of sorts after retiring from the NBA in April. Coach Mike Woodson is a big fan of having his positive attitude and veteran experience around the team, but Wallace said he's focused on his family for now. Sheed did say he'll keep his New York residence for the time being and didn't rule out joining the team in a similar role next season.

Mike Woodson - C - Knicks

Mike Woodson's contract is reportedly not guaranteed beyond the 2013/14 season, a source told the New York Post.

It's a little early to be talking about Woodson on the hot seat, so we're not going to go there. The source told the New York Post that the final year of Woodson's deal (2014/15) is not guaranteed, but this report appears to be much ado about nothing. Woodson's job is not currently in jeopardy.

Carmelo Anthony - F - Knicks

Carmelo Anthony is reportedly concerned management will stand pat during the offseason and has privately said the team needs another scorer, a source told the New York Post.

We're extremely skeptical of this report given the way it's worded. The source told the New York Post that Anthony "loves" Iman Shumpert, but he's privately hopeful the team will add a "significant piece" to the roster. The problem with that is the Knicks are strapped for cash with the current roster, so it's going to be very difficult to achieve. GM Glen Grunwald has said the team will be "creative" and "aggressive" in free agency.

Carmelo Anthony - F - Knicks

Carmelo Anthony's status for Opening Night of the 2013/14 could be in doubt if he undergoes shoulder surgery.

Anthony and the Knicks are hoping the small labral tear in his left shoulder will heal on its own. If it doesn't show improvement in a few weeks, surgery would go down in late June. This kind of procedure normally comes with a four-month timetable, which would put Anthony in a race to be ready by late October. It does help that the damage is on his non-shooting side.

Chris Smith - G - Knicks

The Knicks will not sign Chris Smith, the brother of J.R. Smith, a source told ESPN New York.

"Chris is not an NBA player -- not even close," the source said. "He will never play for them." We don't argue with that assessment and it would be shocking to see Chris given a legitimate chance with the Knicks.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

After GM Glen Grunwald said Amare Stoudemire could be on a minutes restriction next season, Grunwald revealed that the Knicks are hopeful Stoudemire will be able to play "significant minutes" next season.

Grunwald virtually admitted the Knicks have no idea how STAT's health will hold up, or if it will at all. He had two knee surgeries during the season, and although he made it back each time, it's unclear what his status will be for next year in terms of how he's utilized. Coach Mike Woodson has already dismissed the talk about whether or not Stoudemire will start, and Grunwald said "we don't know" when asked what Stoudemire can do next season.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire will work with Hakeem Olajuwon in August.

It will be the second summer in a row in which STAT works with The Dream on low-post moves and defense. Interestingly, Olajuwon reportedly charges $50,000 per week for the instruction at his private basketball court just outside of Houston. Despite the injuries, Stoudemire had his best shooting season as a Knick, making 57.7 percent of his shots from the floor. Of course, fantasy owners will be reluctant to draft Stoudemire next year considering he had a surgery on each knee last season.

Tyson Chandler - C - Knicks

Tyson Chandler is hoping to be a focal point of the Knicks offense, vowing to work on his game and become a better player in the offseason.

"Tyson physically has to get back. I think he has to get on a weight program and try to bulk up a little bit. We have talked about that some as well as trying to develop a little bit on the low block and feel good about it," Mike Woodson said. Chandler also made some comments during the Knicks playoff run about the need to share the ball, so it's possible he's looking for the Knicks to change some things up.

Iman Shumpert - G/F - Knicks

Iman Shumpert says he's going to work on improving his point guard skills this summer.

Shumpert played some point guard during his rookie year but was used off the ball more this season. However, with Jason Kidd possibly retiring and Pablo Prigioni an unrestricted free agent, Shumpert could be asked to spell Raymond Felton next season. Shumpert also said he wants to work on his midrange game, which could go a long way to increasing his fantasy value next season.

Amare Stoudemire - F/C - Knicks

Amare Stoudemire was not happy with his role this season and wants to play a bigger part next season.

After GM Glen Grunwald said STAT could be on a minutes cap, it appears as if Stoudemire is preparing himself to play as much as he can. "You know Amar’e, he’s going to work as hard as he can during the offseason," said Happy Walters, Stoudemire’s agent. "It was a tough year, but Amar’e is already looking forward to next season. He’ll be ready." It's unclear what kind of role he'll have next season since Mike Woodson won't commit to him as a starter.
