Stretch provision makes the most sense unless you can move him for someone else's trash (Neal).

Also, if we keep him, at least he can be used as filler in a trade. Right now, that is undesirable because his contract lasts until 2015, but next year, he will be an expiring contract and his filler salary may come in useful.

There are very, very few situations when the stretch provision is useful.

I think having Maynor take up a roster spot and have his full salary on the books carries much more opportunity cost than to have him off the roster and to have ~$700K in dead money for three years. That's about 1% of our cap space, maybe less. It's all about what we do to remedy the problem though. That extra $1.4M in space under the lux tax could be meaningful this summer.

I'd rather just cut Maynor and take a one-time cap hit. Just get it over with.

#FreeMaynor......

From his overpaid POS contract that is

I'd rather have that extra $1.4M in room under the lux tax this summer. It could be the difference between a Jameer Nelson and a Beno Udrih, or a Ramon Sessions and an Earl Watson.

I think the stretch provision might be the Knicks' resolution to their JR Smith issue. Even if his production increases, I don't see any team being interested in his attitude and contract.

The only time they are likely to have cap space is 2015/6 and JR Smith has a $6.4 million option that year. I guess they get the biggest reduction if they do it in 2014/5. Although doing it sooner helps with the 2014/5 lux tax bill.

The move would make sense, but I pray it won't happen. Seems to me that such a move at this time would be a clear indicator that Grunfeld will be back next season.

Can't imagine Leonsis signing off on a move that costs him money under any other circumstance.

Maynor hasn't had a turnover in how many games?

You have to truly suck if you can't get playing time over Chris Singleton.

One of my gripes with backup PG is that I think Temple might actually be worse than Maynor. I loathe with a passion of a 1000 burning suns when Steve buckhantz and Phil try to gloat about Temple's defense, or how steady he is with the offense. Give me an effin break guys. Temple is terrible on defense and just because Temple provides nothing on offense doesn't make him steady. They're pissing on us and telling us it's rain with Temple.

+1 All of Singleton's playing-time was too-much PT yesterday.

Not "might actually be" IS. Temple has been even less productive this season than Maynor. Amazing, but true.

Tell me that EG didn't sign Temple AND Maynor as our backup PGs. Please tell me it isn't true.

Add in Harrington and you have $4.3M in wasted cap space. There wasn't one good FA we could have signed for $4.3M?? Not one that would have broken the Gortat/Nene/Wall/Beal/Ariza/Webster/ group? Sigh...

Remember, our genius FO decided Singleton was better to keep than Marshall. We'd probably have 3 more wins if we had kept Marshall.

Actually, both Maynor (LLE) and Harrington (vet minimum) were signed with exceptions. There was no "cap space" involved so we couldn't actually have signed someone for $4.3M.

How Pungent Is The Suck Emanating From Eric Maynor
