Who are we trading to get him?

Only player that works salary wise is Mitch, but then we'd have to presumably trade Deuce for a big in order to balance the roster.


Isn't he getting bought out?

They haven't done it yet, they're trying to trade him so they don't eat the salary

But even so, I don't see the minutes for him here. We need a backup wing or forward, not another small guard.

Have some self respect! LeBum has mocked, dissed and rejected us his entire career! Why you keep chasing the same girl? Do you realize if by some miracle we won it with LeBum it would be all about him and not about the team? Damn y'all have no dignity!!



This is why this was posted right beneath the proposed trade :lol:

Obviously we are going to have some emotional reactions to the spectre of LeBron and truthfully I am a bit ambivalent on it myself. But I wouldn’t cry if something similar to above happened.

I would have an issue if it was KAT traded instead.

You shouldn't be ambivalent and you should cry if this happened. Something like this is more than basketball. You're accepting a player who made a mockery of the team his entire career and you're giving up 3 players for a 40 year old who isn't even good anymore.

Sounds like emotional judgement to me.....

Can anyone confirm this math:

The Knicks have JUST enough space under the 2nd apron to sign a veteran minimum player, and then sign a 2nd rd pick after 14 days and wont have any further wiggle room below the 2nd apron?

As it stands, we can't sign anyone with more than 1 year of experience in the league, even for the vet minimum at that level.

So unless we make trades, Kevin McCullar is our next signing.

I think the next domino to fall is the Mikal/Mitch extensions...the FO has never let a player go into there final year of there deal.

They either will extend or we should look out for a trade.

Agreed, but that doesn't affect this year's cap situation in terms of signings.

And we’re good then. This was a very good offseason even despite the fact that Clarkson is not Sexton.

A trade potentially would if we received less incoming than outgoing salary. Would open up vet minimums ect to sign if that was the route.

Barring any trades, the roster is probably gunna be…

Brunson | Clarkson | Kolek
Bridges | Deuce | Dink (2-Way)
Hart | Dadiet | McCullar
OG | Yabu | Diawara
KAT | Mitch | Huk | Nnaji (2-Way)

I’m good with that. Solid 1-9 with a lot of high upside guys that can get a chance to play if the coach goes deep enough like Kerr, Dag, and Carlisle do throughout the season.

Hopefully Deuce ends up starting over Hart tho..

With the signings of Clarkson and Yabu, The Knicks did a good job covering themselves if they feel the need to make a consolidation trade with Mikal and Mitch. We have way more depth than we did going into last season. And hopefully a coach who will be more willing to mix and match with our lineups.

There are some interesting targets in that 30-40 million range if you combine Mikal and Mitch in a trade...

True, I guess I'm just anticipating those getting done.

If they don't, things get interesting fast.

I guess that would be my expectation as well but who knows. Does Mikal settle for a contract way less than OG's? I guess he could do the brunson discount but that is a lot to ask every player. I hope the connections and winning matter.

I don't know if the recent Poeltl contract complicates things for Mitch as well.

Things do get interesting but they certainly would have a lot of trade value on the market if we do want to go that route. I figure they have already had to have conversations with each player on where they NEED to be in terms of contract size.

Yes. Or vice versa. If they do it the way you suggest I make it that they would be roughly $68,182 under the 2nd apron. ("Roughly", because I can't find a date for the last day of the regular season, so assumed a 170 day season.)

On the same basis, signing a 2nd rounder to the min and a vet min after 14 days would leave the Knicks roughly $189,105 under the 2nd apron.
