Leon and co. can get it done. Opt in and trade… opt out and extend and trade… we got salary filler in Diakete and Sims and even the draft picks after draft day… we also go potential Precious and Burks S&T salary as filler. There are ways!
Pulling in a 3rd under the cap team also helps… our buddies in Detroit or Washington might want Mitch, Bogs or McBride (or Burks).
Even if you could sign and trade Burks to a third team (36/3 with the first year guaranteed) in exchange for a pick (to have outgoing salaries higher than the PG13 salary, to be hard-capped at the second apron instead of the first apron), it would not work.
Brunson, Randle, OG(35), PG, Hart, Donte, IHart and Deuce would totalize around 189,5M. The same value as the second apron. And we would have to sign more 7 or 8 players yet.
I've been saying this for months.
If the KNICKS keep OG and iHart, they would need to get rid of a big salary to bring in the "star" player they've been hoping to get. If PG is who they want, the logical person to be traded would be Julius. We can't afford Ju, iHart, OG, and PG -- unless a 3rd team gets involved.
So, prepare yourselves because IF we find the "star" player, Julius probably ends up as the odd man out.
Even if the third team gets involved, we can not.
We have to attach salaries to get PG13. THus, we will be sure hard-capped in the second apron (around 189M)
Brunson (25), Randle (30), OG(35), PG (49), Hart (18), Donte (11), IHart (16) and Deuce (5) would totalize around 189M. We already hit the second apron and we still need 6 players to complete the roster (14).
