New York Knicks President Phil Jackson announced today that the team has signed guard Langston Galloway and forward Travis Wear.
We assume that these are nonguaranteed deals that merely bring Galloway and Wear to Knicks training camp, giving them a chance to compete for a regular season contract.

After four seasons, the Baton Rouge, LA native finished his collegiate career as the Hawks’ second all-time leading scorer with 1,991 points and the school’s all-time leader on three-point field goals with 343.

Wear, 6-10, 230-pounds, is an undrafted rookie out of the University of California, Los Angeles.
