So you rather have 19 mil on the books for the next 2 years and not have extra cap next year just because of 6 million on the cap for 1 year? I don’t get why people don’t want to do this.
Either you want to
1) don’t trade him
2) trade him for contracts that go past 2019
In both cases you don’t want a big fish to go along with KP and the young guys. What do you want ?
Keep in mind we can’t even trade Lee and people think we can trade Noah lol.

We’re still rebuilding. We’re not ready to make out move. Damn, show some patience. Sometimes a slow hand is needed. And I’m not trading off any assets to get these guys either. Our move is in 2021.

This is clearly being done with all intents to sign Kyrie next off-season. Maybe Butler as well.

I just noticed the stretched money goes for 4 years. The papers were making it seem like 3 more years including this one. I see why people hate it. We have to be completely sure someone is coming to do this.

I think we have a good chance with our new front office and Fizdale on board, of course.
But if they don't get anybody I think it's still the move to make. Just to get Noah away from this team and not have his bad attitude around the young players. It's one of the most horrible contracts next to Curry/Jerome James.
Another shrewd move from Scott Perry and Steve Mills to prep for 2019 free agency.
What I’m specifically getting at is that Pills has not used the bi-annual exception (BAE) to this point in the offseason, and with the roster almost at capacity after a mostly-tame first month of free agency, it seems like the Knicks will just sit on that exception and not use it this year.
Unlike the non-taxpayer mid-level exception (used to sign Mario Hezonja and Mitchell Robinson), the BAE does not expire, so to speak
The BAE allows a team to go over the salary cap (but not the luxury tax apron) to sign a player to a contract up to two years in length
This year, the exception is worth $3.382 million, and will be worth incrementally more or less depending on the salary cap any given year
Most importantly, a team cannot use the BAE two years in a row (the bi-annual part of the equation)
So what does this all mean? Well, basically, if Pills and the Knicks become big free agency players next year, the BAE would give them just a little bit of extra financial wiggle room after the big dominos fall. And make no mistake, they plan on being players in free agency next season.
So, by saving the BAE, the Knicks have given themselves the possibility of having two exceptions next offseason — the non-taxpayer mid-level exception (again, the roughly $8.5-million chunk of change that the team used to sign Hezonja and Robinson this summer, which is available annually to teams over the salary cap but under the luxury tax threshold), and the BAE, potentially giving the team another $12 million to use over the salary cap to sign supplementary players to put around Porzingis, Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox and [Max contract star(s) TBD].

Furthermore, Noah’s expiring contract might actually have some value in 2019-20. History has shown that large expiring pacts can be useful pieces in facilitating complex trades. Again, the Knicks could potentially benefit from being patient.
Thus, it’s difficult, from the outside looking in, to understand the Knicks rationale for hurrying to cut ties with Noah. What would be the harm in giving him one last chance to prove himself in New York, with a new coaching staff willing to provide him with an opportunity to earn a fresh start? Remember, Noah, a native New Yorker who grew up a few blocks from Madison Square Garden, called playing for the Knicks a dream come true when he initially signed his contract. "I was a diehard Knicks fan growing up. To be able to wear this jersey means the world to me. I really want to make this city proud,” Noah told ESPN radio on the day he was introduced as a Knick. “I’m hungry to get it poppin’ in the Garden… I’m ready to be an animal for this city.”

this is the part that disappoints me as to how untenable his presence must be. i'd have thought even if he could just ride the bench all season we'd have more options keeping him around than waiving or stretching.

Article makes no sense we aiming for 2019 free agency. No one is doing us any favors even if we kept him until then. We will have to add a 1st and thats a dubb.

beat me to it. but i agree. this is wise maneuvering. for me the $6.5m hit is worth being in position to assemble KP and co. a proper army next season.

i think the point is that they can wait to stretch him until they KNOW they need to. they could get all the way to next offseason and get a feel for who wants to do what, then stretch noah.
or... trade his expiring.
