I heard he signed to play in Russia, but his agent said if the knicks were interested he may be able to get out of his contract. I am not a huge Gatling fan, but he is a capable scorer in the post and works hard under the boards. It may not be a bad idea to bring him in considering our depleted front line.

Feedback?

I think that this would definitely be a good move.

The Knicks need another scorer to get Houston and Spree more open shots.

If McDyess is out for the year, the Knicks get an injury exception thats around 108% of the leagues avg salary. I think that that comes
out to 4.8mil.

As I understand it, they only get the injury exception if they can guarantee McDyess will be out for the entire season. When Jayson Williams for the Nets broke his leg as bad as he did, NJ could not get the injury exception for the next season, and that was after he had to retire. I don't understand the logic, but it's more likely than not the Knicks will NOT get the injury exception. They still have the mid-level exception, though.

Gatling wouldn't require more then the mid-level exception. Who wants to play in Russia? I'd just sign him to one-year though, nothing long term.
