Ok, how does that change the reality for KP that if he wants a max cat to join him he's gunna have to wait to sign his max deal until after that cat is signed?

Name them.
Dudes like KP get extensions. They don’t hit free agency.
Bingo. Greenie is right. No player with KP's talent has ever left for FA after their rookie contract. That's because team controls RFA and Bird Rights. And how many players are stupid enough to do that?
None of us are expecting him to leave for FA, we're saying that if the knicks communicate with him he'll hold off on signing his max extension until after we've taken our shot at a Max cat in FA next summer...assuming Noah gets stretched if we can't swap Lee for expirings.
Porzi will still get his max deal from the knicks before next season starts, it's just that his cap hold is almost 10M less than his max deal would be once he actually signs it, so if he waits, that creates a nice chunk of extra cap space to use that summer.
