This, from the NY Post:

"If the Knicks deem McDyess out for the year, they can request a $6M injury exception (half of McDyess' salary) to sign a free agent. But since there's no decent player available, the Knicks could trade the exception, with a draft pick, to a cost-cutting club and get in return a big man making $6M."

With Dice out this year (or maybe for most of the year), I guess it may not be too soon for Layden to start thinking of next year. Man, I hope he doesn't pull off any trades that makes the team marginally better and fall too far from the LeBron sweepstakes.

You think we could trade the exception for /////odom or Richardson since the clips won't resign them anyways?

interesting. I am not sure the Clips would be a candidate that would pop up - more like a team that was kind of salary strapped but who wanted to make a free agent splash next year. Think Minnesota or Seattle.

Yeah right--increase payroll and dish out draft picks for a 6mm dollar player that will cost the knicks 12mm how high does the payroll need to get?

Minnesota and Seattle doesn't have anything they would give up just for the exception.
