Nate Robinson
David Lee and Nate Robinson received qualifying contract offers last week from the Knicks, making both players restricted free agents this summer.
The move was not announced by the Knicks, although it was considered a formality. The players’ agents confirmed that they received the paperwork just after the N.B.A. finals ended.
The restricted free-agency designation means that the Knicks have the right to match any offer that Lee or Robinson receives after hitting the market July 1.
Had the Knicks not made the qualifying offers by the end of this month, Lee and Robinson would have become unrestricted free agents.
