@New York Knicks

Immediately after the deal, the Knicks felt that there would be feasible ways to avoid the first apron hard-cap. They can do so by trading Miles McBride ($4.7 million salary for 2024-25) or signing and trading either Alec Burks or Precious Achiuwa, per Yossi Gozlan

    Throw someone a few seconds to give us some help.

    McBride has value well beyond just salary matching, especially on his current deal. If he goes out I’d be expecting a reduction in the pick compensation.

    No way in hell should Leon trade McBride and his steal of a contract

    Complication is that in order for it to be Burks or Precious, a team with cap space needs to agree to trade for them, and those players have to agree to go to those teams. You can’t use exceptions like the MLE or biannual to trade for players. So if they want to join a team that doesn’t have cap space, we’re out of luck.

    Edit: As crototype correctly pointed out, there is a change in the CBA that allows teams to use certain exceptions to trade for players under contract. This makes it much easier to try and figure out a trade that works for all the parties involved.

    I thought they could also just sign and trade one of the second rounders and one of our end of bench guys

    Burks or Precious would have to agree to the deal tho

    Burks. We got our own TJ McConnell now in Tyler Kolek

    Worst case scenario, i probably prefer to be hardcapped than have to trade Deuce

    Yall keep doing this to yourselves, who the fuck is Yossi Gozlan?

    Just chill out and wait. We are not going too cripple ourselves, and we’re keeping Deuce.

    I might be wrong but they did not sign that contract to trade him. Everything this FO does is intentional. Is he a movable contract? Sure.

    But did he make himself invaluable at his contract price? Yes. It’s the same thing with Jules. These guys signed contracts with the right players and it’s an option but in no way has Deuce not been worth everything and more. He’s only leaving if we get a stupid return. He is not cap relief now and there’s another pathway that has been calculated and decided.

    I think he only leaves if 4 other plans fail and I doubt that.

    prefer to renounce toppin, daquan, and whomever else, over getting rid of McBride. he did good last year

    Leon was a successful agent and gave that up to come here. Wes is on the team with him.

    It’s crazy that you all think that they have not carried that over here. Neither guy is in the business of fucking players over and have a long list to prove it.

    You don’t suddenly abandon that by the roadside, Leon was never posturing for a GM job but whatever was said in that room when he was hired made him change his mind and whatever assurances he has made Wes change his mind. These are two of the greatest minds in how basketball works and they have the third that teams have actively tried to take from us in Brock.

    They didn’t fuck the offseason up because there’s agreements but no finalization to the majority of it. Yall are getting Knicks for clicks so hard it boggles the mind.

    See yall opening night when we’re even better than now.
