The Knicks will sign veteran shooter Steve Novak to a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum, according to a report by Yahoo! Sports.

Novak was released by the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. The 6-10 forward has to pass through waivers unclaimed before the Knicks can sign him.

He reportedly tweeted on Monday night, "Next stop .... NY" before deleting it.

Novak is a 41.7% career three-point shooter but is limited on defense and can't be counted on to create shots for himself.

Last season, he made 23 of his 42 attempts for San Antonio.

The Knicks still have the $2.5 million "room" exception and are poised to add another free agent. They have been in talks with James Posey and have reportedly shown interest in Al Thornton and Bostjan Nachbar, among others.
