Landry Fields' situation isn't as clear, and the clock already is ticking. The Knicks have until Saturday to decide whether to match the three-year, $18.7- million offer sheet Toronto gave Fields. Grunwald said the Knicks haven't decided about him yet. But when Woodson was asked about Fields' return Thursday, he didn't sound as if it is a priority. Newsday

From the moment Fields and Toronto agreed to that amount, it seemed unlikely that the Knicks would match it. But if they do, it will be because they were unable to get another swingman. "We haven't reached any decision at this time," Grunwald said. "We're still looking at that offer sheet and what other alternatives might be available to us." Newsday

Grunwald said little has changed on the Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin offer sheet fronts, although he said Knicks want both back but the press conference was not the time or place to discuss it. “We’ve been told he (Lin) has received an offer sheet from the Houston Rockets. We’re waiting to see that offer sheet. I think Houston had some things to get through first in terms of timing. But like Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin, those are two young players that we’d like back here. We’ll make a final determination when we need to make that determination. Now is not the time.” New York Post

Mike Woodson was asked today whether the Knicks would match the offer sheet the Raptors gave Landry Fields and it didn't sound like they would at this point. "That’s a Glen Grunwald question in terms of where we’re going to go with that," Woodson said. "But as it stands right now it’s all about the guys that we’ve already made the commitment to in terms of getting them where they need to be." The Knicks have until Saturday to match it. #Knicks Sulia

He said using the amnesty provision remains a possibility if Fields stays in New York, but didn’t give the impression it would be a likely play and certainly not involving Calderon, who has too much value either as a trade chip or as a player for the team. Toronto Sun

Fields' agent, Chris Emens, said he had no knowledge of the Knicks' plans to match, but 'wouldn't be surprised' if they decided to go that route. "However, I have no indication that they will do so," Emens said. ESPN.com

The Lin offer sheet should be a priority because no other move they will make has the ability to spur season-ticket sales than signing “17.’’ The Knicks also will officially sign Jason Kidd, Steve Novak, J.R. Smith, James White and formally execute the sign-and-trade for Marcus Camby. It’s a busy day for general manager Glen Grunwald, who probably won’t match Landry Fields’ three-year, $18.5 million offer sheet from the Raptors, with Smith now aboard. New York Post

J.R. Smith has strong interest in returning for $2.8M, which is a great price, but Raptors offer sheet to Landry Fields might have him wondering if he can get better offers elsewhere. Smith has to see that Fields' contract wasn't about basketball value, however, and it backfired. But money is money. Sulia

As the Steve Nash sweepstakes continued on Wednesday, sources confirmed that the Knicks have emerged as a serious threat to land the free-agent point guard. New York seemed unlikely to remain in the running after Toronto's power play Wednesday, when the Raptors -- which sources say have offered Nash a three-year, $36 million deal -- agreed with Knicks' restricted free agent Landry Fields on a three-year, $20 million offer sheet, railroading one of New York's plans to land Nash in the process. Sources say Fields was the player that the Knicks originally hoped to send to Phoenix in a sign-and-trade for Nash. The Knicks wanted to use that deal (or something similar to it) to pay Nash more than the midlevel exception they would otherwise be limited to (four years, combined $20 million max). SI.com

The Toronto Raptors reached agreement with restricted free-agent guard Landry Fields on a three-year, $20 million offer sheet Tuesday, believing it would disrupt the Knicks' ability to assemble the necessary parts for the Suns. Toronto has offered Nash a three-year, $36 million contract, but Nash has privately indicated a preference to play for New York if the Knicks are able to close the gap on the Raptors' offer. Yahoo!

Toronto delivered the first blow to Grunwald when Fields, a key piece in Nash sign-and-trade talks with Phoenix, agreed to terms on a back- loaded, 3-year, $19 million offer sheet with the Raptors, according to his agent Chris Emens. The Knicks do not plan to match when it is presented to them on July 11. New York Post
