Who knows what happens tonight. If Lin signs the only difference is that next year we have to find SEVEN guys for the minimum instead of eight to fill out the roster. For those who are sick of talking about that here it is as a google doc spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ah-E78OjehAYdHVadWJxUzBPS25Sai1PR3R4NWN5UkE
Here it is broken down: Year 1 salary: $75M (rounded up) WITHOUT LIN: committed to 12 players In each of these years we are WAY over the $58M cap, the $70M luxury tax line and the $74M "apron" WTF does this mean you ask? In all 3 of those years we can ONLY fill out the roster with vet min guys, rookies, and I THINK maybe we get to use ONE mid level exception to sign a guy for $3M unless using it on Kidd this year means we lost it the next 3. So I guess get familiar with the D-League, College, Europe and the bench players for other teams, vets willing to play for the min. and chase a ring with the Knicks. Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
