Beggers can't be choosers. The salary cap is irrelevant for the Knicks; I won't start crying if we drastically overpay him. That would be far better than not getting him would be.
True, but if somehow we can get at least a team option it would help us in the future. Its Dolan's money so whatever. But with many teams not willing to pay him a lot, it could at least help us to make the deal a better one for us too. It could give us space to do something in the future. Just a hope, but down the line if we can get him and he will really help the team, then just get him.
