Center Darko Milicic told The Post he is hoping his agent can work out an agreement with the Knicks to be released.
Milicic said he doesn’t want to leave money on the table, but feels it’s best for him and the Knicks to part ways. Milicic said he doesn’t want to play for another team, but rest for next season when he plans to return to Europe.
“I’m just trying to find some kind of solution,” Milicic told The Post. “I’m not just looking for a solution for my end, but a solution that would be good for them and me.
“I think for the team, why am I taking someone’s spot right now?,” Milicic added. “Why am I traveling, taking a spot? I’m taking someone’s spot when I know I’m never going to play. I understand them, they want to save money so they can get another player. I understand that. But I’m not going to leave any money.”
“If it was just me, I’d say bleep the money,” he said. “But I’m thinking about my wife and baby, and you never know what can happen tomorrow.”
