It would be nice to lock up IQ (and maybe Obi) long term. The new CBA will allow the Knicks to offer each of them a fifth contract year. There's also a new apron that greatly restricts teams that go way over the luxury tax line.
My back of the envelope calculations have the Knicks at 134 in space if they don't pick up Rose's option, Josh Hart doesn't pick up his, and Knicks pick up McBride.
Spotrac has the estimated luxury tax threshold for next season at 166. I'm not sure where they get it but I think they are pretty reliable. For 24,25 it's 171, less reliable but still a good ball park figure. The upshot being that Randle Brunson Mitchell's deals are good value while RJ's is right on the line. It's only 23 for next season which isn't as bad as I thought.
If Knicks release Rose, hang onto Fournier they can offer J Hart a 4 year 80 million deal, IQ a 5 year 150 million and Obi a 5 year 60 million and not have to worry too much about the luxury tax. I Hart and Q Grimes will be questions for next year.
I got you. Take these number with a hint of maybe I'm not 100% on everything but good enough look.

That sucks, hopefully the Knicks playoff run will be long lasting and a riveting distraction.
