I see everyone projecting KAT to start at the 5 for us but I really don't see Thibs doing that. I think he'll start at the 4 with Jericho/Precious at the 5

If this is true, the trade is a win. ESP with the Detroit pick turning into 2nds.

Can't blame Donte. If he wasn't going to be our starting 2, then it would have been a waste for both parties. Like all our guys he played a lot of near 40 min games down the stretch for us. You don't cut that in half for a guy who did what he did last year.

He must not be happy playing behind Edwards then either.

mikal is an upgrade over divo


and og was going to get FA max


KAT is an upgrade over randle


pay kat 50m/yr
or
randle 45m/yr


the choices are obvious

if it’s precious starting kat might as well be the 5

divo isn't stopping Jaylen brown over 7 games.

Hmmm interesting. Mitch only trade asset to upgrade at bench guard currently. Well addition by subtraction I guess.

What are the implications of going over the 2nd apron?

I'd assume the Knicks are going to avoid doing this, so it's one out of the three of Morris, Shamet and Okeke.

BTW, this new CBA sucks, that it forces teams to do this.

Honestly, the NBA really gives a f*ck about the end of rosters? This is really what they wanted?

The second-apron repercussions will begin in earnest once the league calendar flips to 2024-25, with teams above that threshold now losing any mid-level exception entirely. They aren’t just limited to the 100% salary matching in trades, but second apron teams will also be prohibited from combining multiple players’ salaries into trades as well. Phoenix, as a specific example, could not trade both Jusuf Nurkić and Nassir Little for one player making $24.8 million. Second-apron teams also can’t utilize trade exceptions from previous years or send cash to help get deals get over the finish line.

Just how punitive this final element of the second-apron punishments turns out is what has league executives most curious about this summer’s activity — and how the next few seasons of roster construction unfold. Second-apron teams won’t be able to trade their first-round pick seven years into the future. So, if you’re in the second apron by season’s end of 2024-25, you’ll automatically have your 2032 first-round pick frozen and unable to be dealt. That might seem like a way-off draft asset, but those picks are valuable for contending teams that have already emptied much of their war chests. The Bucks, for instance, sent their 2030 first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of their September 2023 blockbuster to acquire Damian Lillard.

And here’s the tricky part: If a team then remains in the second apron for two of the following four seasons, its first-round pick seven years out won’t just be frozen, it will automatically be moved to the end of that first round — or the 30th pick.

Yeah, they'll be avoiding that

Hey Knicks fans I have a question.

How do you feel about your pf spot?

I see Hart is your projected starting pf. That seems like a small frontcourt with Kat/Hart. I think rebounding and defense might be a weakness.

We are hard-capped. We just can't go over the second apron. We can't sign any player that surpasses that amount.

Are they allowed to trade Dadiet for a pick into a below the cap team?

I'll assume Aller informed them of all the implications, I'm just trying to guess the final moves

We will need a SF/PG and a PF/c

We can acquire one or both during the season in small trades. It’s definitely possible. Just need to be smart about who etc go after and what assets we use.

What idiots have Hart listed as the starting PF? It'll be OG or KAT or Precious

Hart MIGHT start at SG but even that is debatable

Either my phone is trash or real gm is trash now. My damn phone keeps reloading in the middle of a damn long post.

The team will get ass blasted if they go over the apron

I agree. It's really stupid.

Can't we dump Dadiet and the other kid from Orlando? I know it isn't lingsighted but we need skilled vets. I can argue you need Morris now more than ever with Mirch out and Shamet too considering wr just lost DVC

I would prefer to keep Morris and Shamet but I'm not sure that's possible.
