- luxury tax starts over $61 mil. it's a dollar for dollar tax. and that money gets distributed to teams under the $61 mil tax threshold. that means that we cut checks to other nba teams that are around or under the cap. so not only did we help toronto save $16 mil next year on jalen, but we pay an EXTRA $16 mil in luxury and then give toronto ANOTHER CHECK. why couldn't we get their #1 and only denver's again?

- the knicks are down in south carolina right now talking about drafting and free agent strategies. larry brown and herb williams are not there.

- the knicks and larry brown have a meeting scheduled this week. according to brown's agent, it is not a buyout discussion.

- in cablevision shareholder's meeting, the shareholder's are not asking about the knicks or rangers. they're asking about the cable business. so buying out lb or any trade they make are not of concern to shareholders as the knicks and rangers are not looked on as a core part of the business.

Did you know, that this is the logic of the luxury tax (see MLB and NHL).
Did you know, that coaches generally only show up for the workouts while the GM consults privately with various scouts to get feedback on players that were scouted during the year.
Did you know, that per Larry Brown that he has weekly meetings with both Dolan and Thomas since the end of the season.

Did you know that Brown was a psychic

"I don't know how many coaches in this league can coach a team that won 23 games," Brown said, "and still have a job."
