Knicks showing interest in P.J. Tucker, Dante Cunningham

The Knicks have preliminary interest in veteran free agent P.J. Tucker. Jeff Hornacek coached Tucker in Phoenix and praised him last season as a strong locker-room leader and intense defender.

Tucker shot 35.7 percent from beyond the arc last season, including a 40 percent clip after being traded to the Toronto Raptors.

New York has also shown interest in New Orleans Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham who has developed into a solid 3-point shooter (39.2 percent last season).
