The Knicks have reached their capacity for training camp signings but their former players are still finding new homes.
Precious Achiuwa signed with the Heat and Delon Wright committed to the Pacers, according to reports.
Both deals are expected to be non-guaranteed, meaning they’ll have to fight for a roster spot.
Achuiwa played the last two seasons for the Knicks but grew frustrated with his role and cryptically told The Post after the Knicks were eliminated, “I would definitely say the way I see the game and the league has changed. Just from this season.”
Achiuwa, who went to high school in The Bronx, purchased a posh condo on South Beach earlier this summer, making the Heat a convenient location.
Wright, a defensive-minded guard, ended the playoffs as part of the Knicks rotation.
Coincidentally, that was against his new team, the Pacers.
Wright was acquired by New York in the middle of last season in a trade for Jericho Sims.
Cam Payne is now the only Knick from last season who isn’t yet signed to an NBA team.
Miles McBride again relayed his excitement for Mike Brown’s offense, reiterating what he recently told The Post about the Knicks turning “stagnant” last season.
“I think last year at times we got stagnant and we were dependent on a lot of isolation shots, which is just tough down the stretch,” McBride said. “I think this year is going to be a little more freedom with the movement and a lot of guys cutting and getting guys getting active.”

The Knicks finished with the NBA’s fifth-best offense last season, but it dipped considerably after the All-Star break and through the playoffs as a reliance on Jalen Brunson in isolation became more palpable.
Assuming he’s not traded, McBride, 25, is entering his fifth season with the Knicks and a crowded guard rotation, with Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Jordan Clarkson, Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet all in the mix.
Mitchell Robinson’s playoffs were marred by awful free-throw shooting, which resulted in opposing coaches scheming him off the floor by fouling on purpose, aka Hack-A-Mitch.
Regardless of what’s determined as the way to fix the problem, Brown said an important part is consistent messaging.
“We have to have a game plan where it’s diagnosed to the point where, this is the messaging. One, two, probably at the most three things (for Robinson to do), but everybody on the staff has to know it,” Brown said. “Whoever’s working with him at that time has to say the same message.”
