Guerschon Yabusele has parted ways with the Philadelphia 76ers, and his new destination probably stings for fans much more than they initially expected. Leading

The French power forward's deal is worth $12 million. The Sixers had hoped to retain him, but he leaves Philadelphia as a fan favorite.

For the Knicks he likely will take the place of free agent Precious Achiuwa. At 6-8, 260-pounds, the 29-year-old Yabusele can serve as both a power forward and center as Achiuwa did last season. But Yabusele is a more dangerous threat from beyond the arc than Achiuwa, who has shot under 30% beyond the arc for three straight seasons.
