Tank hard & get a top 3 pick. No matter who it is, I think you should make large offers to Gasol Dragic Millsap. Also go hard after Mathews and Green. Then based on the unlikely scenario we can get two of these guys, I'd look for some bargain guys who may outplay their contracts - Koufus Affalo Beverly Carroll etc.

Koufus
Millsap
Melo
russell
Beverly

Okafor
Green
Melo
Mathews
Beverly

Lopez
Millsap
Melo
Affalo
Mudiaye

Gasol
West
Melo
Mudiaye
Dragic

Yeah, honestly, if I'm going dream scenario, I'm trading Melo for a few 1sts/whatever and hope we draft future stars while signing a few solid role players to help guide them along.

And it's telling, perhaps, that I consider this my dream scenario.

And you will be the Minnosta Timberwolves for years to come. All those picks doesn't mean you will end up with a good team. It is usually a huge signing plus a home grown draft pick.

Knicks have their huge signing in Carmelo Anthony , he is the star.

Knicks will draft there second star in either Okafor, Mudiay or Towns.

Knicks will then sign Role players to fill out the roster.

Knicks will probably end up drafting Towns with the 2nd or 3rd pick.

Robin Lopez ( 4 year / 44 million)
Towns
Melo
D.Green ( 4 year/32 million)
Dragic ( 4 year / 52 million)

Thats exactly 32 million on FA signings. Bottom line we need to get rid of Jose.

This is the most realistic line-up that the Knicks can construct for next season. New York must keep salary space open for 2016, which shouldn't be a problem as once the television contract signings boost the NBA salary cap to $85,000,000-$90,000,000.

By the way, why are folks saying that our salary cap for this summer will be $33 million only if the Knicks trade Calderon? From all accounts, New York's salary cap monies for next season have been estimated at $33,000,000 right now. If the Knicks can trade Jose, this will push free agent spending capabilities to over $36,000,000.

Basically, this will ensure that NY can ink a MAX Salaried player, have the space to sign a second MAX Salaried player (or hold onto to this money if something happens with the 2016 projected space and this means Kevin Durant), and sign 1-2 second tier above average Free Agents.

I thought the Knicks were currently at about 30 mil with Calderon but before signing the first round pick (which is 4.7 mil if #1). So that's more like 25 million free and with Calderon gone 32 mil. They can get another 1 million by dropping Prigs.

It's talked about here:

I'd love to see other reports that we are already at 33 million - then if we got rid of Calderon we'd be close to 40 mil...

Dream Scenario is LeBron, but that's never going to happen. Neither is someone like Gasol, or Aldridge and even Millsap.

Realistically (and even this feels far-fetched from what probably happens)...

1) Draft D'Angelo Russell
2) Convince Hibbert to opt out and take a little cut now for the guaranteed money later (4yr-$48mil)
3) Ideally this is where we sign Draymond Green, but Golden St. matches. We focus attention on Wes Matthews, only to see him re-up in Portland. So we steal Danny Green away from San Antonio (4yr-$35mil)
4) Deal THJr+TPE to the Bulls who have to pony up for Butler and want to remain below the tax, for Taj Gibson.
5) Re-Sign Aldrich to backup Hibbert
6) Have Prigioni recruit Luis Scola for the vet min (one last hoorah)

PG: D'Angelo Russell / Jose Calderon / Pablo Prigioni
SG: Danny Green / Langston Galloway
SF: Carmelo Anthony / Vet Min / Cleanthony Early
PF: Taj Gibson / Luis Scola
C: Roy Hibbert / Cole Aldrich
