This is when keeping the cap free is key.

People were freaking out over the Knicks having to pay Mitchell a lot on his next contract, but it looks like Centers are getting paid less than $10M per season.

Charlotte is the most obvious team that comes to mind. They added Hayward which will help offensively but they have very little in the way of guys that can score. Their front court is offensively inept...and that's being kind. Now that they have both Ball and Hayward to create shots for others a guy like Randle can thrive on offensively cause he won't need to be trying to channel his inner Hakeem Olajuwon trying to create shots for himself (no need for "spin, spin, spin, turnover" with Ball and Hayward setting him up around the basket). I would also expect the Hornets to go uptempo with their recent additions which then would make Randle an interesting small Ball 5.

Ibaka and Harrell are making 9.5 million, who’s going to pay Randle 19 million?

Noel is a great signing. You put him next to Mitch and you stop everyone. You put him next to Obi or Randle and you help cover their defensive liabilities. Woulda loved us to sign him to 3 years and 15 mil (but i assume he's hoping for a big payday next summer).

I wonder if Chicago would just take the up front savings of an Otto Porter Jr. for Julius Randle deal?

Sign Dario Saric

C-Mitchell Robinson/Nerlens Noel/Ed Davis
PF-Dario Saric/Obi Toppin/Kevin Knox
SF-Otto Porter Jr./Reggie Bullock/Ignas Brazdeikis
SG-R.J. Barrett/Alec Burks/Immanuel Quickley
PG-Frank Ntilikina/Elfrid Payton/Dennis Smith Jr.

Trade as many guys as possible at the deadline for picks (besides Obi/Robinson/Barrett) and come into 2021 with flexibility once again.

I know it's so unrealistic, but maaaaaannn if we get a Shams or Woj tweet that says The Knicks and Pelicans are working on a S&T for Ingram, that might be the happiest day of my Knick fandom since...Linsanity? First week of KP looking like a cornerstone? Damn.

But yes, I know it's not happening.

Bevs/Lou
Kawhi/Kennard
PG13/
Morris/Paterson
Ibaka/Zubac

They still are a PG short.
