Wojnarowski wrote: "Walker will be on an expiring contract this summer and this will provide an opportunity for the Knicks and their agent Jeff Schwartz of Accel Sports to work out business scenarios in the off-season."
The four-time All-Star played 37 games for the Knicks this season, and averages 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
Prior to this season, he was on the Boston Celtics for each of the previous two seasons.
After being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder last off-season, he was taken out of their contract and then signed with the Knicks.
