Knicks working on buyouts with Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih

Metta World Peace says a lot of things. He says he's a lizard. He says he's an alien. He's spent all of last night making CAA jokes. I think he means it this time, though:

Thank NYC for everything. Thanks for having me I will always be grateful... My agent is working on a buyout. No disrespect to the city Luv U

My agent just informed me this release could happen any hr now. I just want to say "Thanks for everything"

That sounds real. Bummer. No disrespect taken, Metta. It just didn't work out. Metta's play was erratic, then he got hurt, then Mike Woodson stuck him to the bench near-permanently. He's another savvy little signing gone down the drain, just like Beno Udrih, and just like Ronnie Brewer before them. It's a shame the Knicks couldn't trade either Metta or Beno and get a pick out of all this, because I bet Beno's headed for a buyout of his own in the near future.

Update: Yeap.

League sources tell @ESPNNewYork that the #Knicks are in discussions to cut ties with Beno Udrih in addition to Metta World Peace.
