Here’s the New York Post reporting on the Knicks, who recognize that Lou Amundson is a good value for the money:

In continuing to build their new lunchpail, defense-first identity, the Knicks have finally used the last of their cap space in re-signing center Lou Amundson to a one-year, $1.65 million deal, his agent Mark Bartlestein said.
Amundson, the ponytailed journeyman center who has played for 10 teams, became a surprisingly solid addition last January when he was obtained from Cleveland in the 3-team J.R. Smith/Iman Shumpert firesale.
Amundson’s grinding game earned him starting status when he arrived. He played in 41 games, making 35 starts and averaged 6 points and 6 rebounds. On this team, Amundson will be a depth played and not expected to get steady minutes.
