Forget Duhon. 8-10 mil is wayy too much for him.

And $15M is way too much for Al. He's good but he's no franchise player.

what the hell does that have anything to do with anything?
Which part are you confused about? I cannot read your mind.

no one in this thread suggested that Harrington should get $15M.

I am confused at how you are a PhD and teach others.
Wow, all I'm going to say is that I'm confused how such a rude, angry person would be a forum moderator.

Personality psychology. I teach a small liberal arts college. I'm come on here when I should be getting work done and when I'm in the mood for some good-natured arguing.

Larry Bird exception

Perhaps the most well-known of the NBA's salary cap exceptions, it is so named because the Boston Celtics were the first team permitted to exceed the salary cap to re-sign one of their own players (in that case, Larry Bird). Free agents who qualify for this exception are called "qualifying veteran free agents" or "Bird Free Agents" in the CBA, and this exception falls under the auspices of the Veteran Free Agent exception. In a nutshell, the Larry Bird exception allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own free agents, at an amount up to the maximum salary. To qualify as a Bird free agent, a player must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent. This means a player can obtain "Bird rights" by playing under three one-year contracts, a single contract of at least three years, or any combination thereof. It also means that when a player is traded, his Bird rights are traded with him, and his new team can use the Bird exception to re-sign him. Bird-exception contracts can be up to six years in length.

so basically the Knicks have to resign duhon and Al and hope there's room for some of the available free agents.

what Donnie needs to do right now is to dump Curry's contract at the soonest possible opportunity to open up the dollars to retain either Lee or Al Harrington past 2010.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

So, if 2010 were tomorrow...

We'll have the decision to have a rotation of
Nate
Duhon
Lee
Chandler
Al Jr
Gallo
09 Pick
Mid Level FA

or
LeBron
Bosh
Jeffries
Curry
Chandler
Gallo
09 pick
2nd round picks?
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
