Woj: The Knicks will sign Solomon Jones
Posting and Toasting — The news for a few days had been that the Knicks were going to cut Kurt Thomas-- whose foot injury requires surgery-- to sign forward James Singleton. That deal has apparently fallen through, and the Knicks are going elsewhere. Instead of Singleton, they'll sign Solomon Jones, according to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski.
