Nonsense. The only risk squats pose to your knees is if you do them wrong (letting knees collapse in at the bottom as you start to go back up, which is often a result of loading too much wait on the bar and not squatting to full depth). Learning to properly squat to full depth made a huge improvement in my formerly creaky knees (as well as hip mobility).
