We’re probably picking up both options. Sims to be our 3rd big. Jeffries to use in the Mikal trade. We will have enough space for I-Hart regardless as long as we are not hard capped at the first apron.

Been waiting for an update on this one. I think it’s obvious the team declines Jeffries, but very curious what happens with Sims.

No, they’re both minimum $ contracts. The big thing for the Knicks is figuring out how to avoid being hard capped at the first apron once the Bridges deal is finalized. These two have no bearing on that

Paul George is now a free agent.

Declining Sims actually costs us cap space since the vet min is above his option

Would it be accurate to say that if BKLYN takes back more salary, that might be why we had to include extra draft capital to avoid being hard capped, so in essence the Makil trade can help us retain ihart? Is that a too much of a stretch?

Why does this picture look like the AI version of Jericho Sims?

They like Simms so I think he is staying as a third string big which for that role you could do worse. As far as Jefferies I think they will attempt to include him in the Bridges deal to avoid being hardcapped at the first apron. If they can add Jefferies to the Bridges deal they should be able to give I-Hart the largest offer they can give him. All this apron stuff and cap rules are hard to figure out, Knicks hopefully have top men on this.

Sims and Toppin were both picked up. Everyone else was declined including Precious.

Now that they’re not keeping Precious they have to pick up Sims, right?

Need to stop focusing on or worrying if/how the knicks can offer Ihart the max. If he’ll take it the Knicks will figure it out.
The issue is if he’ll take it which none of us know.
