Guerschon Yabusele has parted ways with the Philadelphia 76ers, and his new destination probably stings for fans much more than they initially expected. Leading

For the Knicks he likely will take the place of free agent Precious Achiuwa. At 6-8, 260-pounds, the 29-year-old Yabusele can serve as both a power forward and center as Achiuwa did last season. But Yabusele is a more dangerous threat from beyond the arc than Achiuwa, who has shot under 30% beyond the arc for three straight seasons.

The Knicks are in agreement on a two-year, $12MM deal with free agent forward/center Guerschon Yabusele, according to Shams Charania of ESPN ( Twitter link ), who reports that the new contract will include a second-year player option.
