Actually, there would be 1 million on the books, but that's close enough to where he won't really affect us

He doesn't lock that 1M in until 6/29/19. So if we waive him before that date, then not even that 1M would be left on our books.

What's your source on that?

Cause I haven't seen that before, I thought it was 1 mil guaranteed

It’s down under “Deadlines”. His contract doesn’t guarantee for that 1M until 6/30/19. So if we waive him by the 29th we should be fully in the clear; unless I’m reading this wrong.

Didn't know that

Regardless, even if he's owed 1 mil next year, that's really nothing anyways

j/k.


You really that down on Timmy?


No, it would be an example of the team's best player going out, leading to the worst possible record.

Expect us to lose a couple of assets come February.


I think you’re confusing Lee & Thomas. Thomas can be waived prior to 6/29/19 and not a cent would be left on our books for the summer. So there is no need to trade him.

I didn't know that, thanks for dropping the jewels. I stand corrected.

Lance bulking up over the last few seasons was a mistake too

For sure, I like numbers too much & have spent too much time dicking around with our cap situation.

...even corrected Shams on Baker's contract, cause at one point I decided to dig into the exact specifics of every Knick's contract :lol:
