Noah Vonleh

Currently, on the New York Knicks, Noah Vonleh would be a cheap option to buyout. His contract is worth under $2.5 million. The 6-foot-9 forward is surprisingly averaging a career-high in points per game at 8.6.

For the minutes he gets, Vonleh is one of the best rebounding forwards in the league averaging 8.6 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per game. Per 36 minutes, both those spike to just over 11. Vonleh, while not a phenomenal rim protector would add youth to Golden State.

Vonleh wouldn’t cost much to retain either. The 23-year-old has bounced around the league and could find a true NBA home in Golden State. If bought out, his options may be plentiful, so Golden State securing him might have to happen almost immediately.

It’s unlikely he’s bought out, but if he is, the Dubs might as well take a chance on him.
