You don't think 20+ mill off of someones books holds value. The knicks have brought out every big contract that had a year or 2 left on it and have gotten worse in the process, and are still over the cap. You need to make expiring contracts work in your favor at some point.
it all depends who we're getting back in the deal... if you're saying u wanna give up Marbury's expiring to take on Vince Carter's albatross, i'll have to check your temperature... if you say you wouldn't mind giving him up for someone who's contract comes off the books in '10 that could possibly help our team, i'd be open to the idea, but it depends on who it is & what the terms of the deal are.
I still think we'd almost be crazy not to talk to Paul, after next year. We got almost 30 million freeing up after next year and 2009-10 is Paul's option year. If we can get him on board, then LeBron might want to come here. And if not, there's always Dwight Howard the following year, because he's also in his final year and curry, jeffries, jerome and Zbo are coming off the books. We'll have a whole **** load of money by then, with a nice big option coming.
Paul, Howard, and the rest of what we'll have on this team, will certainly be a vast improvement. No question, we will have the money after next year and after three seasons from now. The future is already looking brighter.
I'll never trust this' team again.
