On March 29, 2011, the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League signed Grant as a free agent to an entry level contract.

The only thing that would lessen the impact of Miami signing Grant would be if it had to send Mason to Cleveland in the sign-and-trade deal.

Pye signed Grant who was still known as Vivien Foreman: as the label requested she adopt a stage name Grant formed "Julie Grant" from the name of her father's accountant Julian Grant.

Manager Derek Adams said "I am delighted to have signed Grant.

New York signed Grant to a six-year offer sheet that was reportedly worth $2.25 million a year.

It is no surprise that Knicks signed Grant to an offer sheet soon after July 1.

The league is fighting the Magic's use of a cap loophole to sign Grant, and they will likely contest Phoenix should it exploit the loophole to add Danny Manning to Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson.

Magic officials indicated they would not pursue the issue in court but would try to sign Grant to a contract acceptable to the National Basketball Association.

"I'd love to make a Grant-Golota fight," said Lou DiBella, senior vice president of HBO/TVKO, who recently signed Grant to a long-term deal.

McDaniel waited as the Knicks signed Grant, a restricted free agent forward, to an offer sheet in June, only to have Washington match that offer.
