According to Marc Berman of the NY Post:

After they officially match Jeremy Lin's $28.8M offer sheet, the Knicks have made a verbal offer to 35-year-old Spanish League point guard Pablo Prigioni, according to sources. Sport Newspaper Ole is reporting that he is likely to accept. Luis Scola of the Rockets, a fellow Argentinian, tweeted Wednesday that Prigioni will play in the NBA.

However, FIBA paperwork must be done if Prigioni accepts an offer. Prigioni was seeking a little more than the minimum contract.

The Post reported Prigioni had visited the Knicks last month in New York. Prigioni is on Argentina's Olympic Team and used to be the top Spanish League point guard, known as a good playmaker. The Knicks European scout Kevin Wilson lives in Barcelona.
