Mills talked about using the trade exceptions prior to the draft. Any ideas how that could work out for us?

You can't combine the exception with any other asset, so I'm not sure how much value it has. I suppose we could trade it to a team for a second round pick?

Not sure who we could get but if we use our exception that means we're adding salary next season. Won't be able to use it on an expiring player.

Mills was having a discreet nervous breakdown- everything was probably a blur for him, so I wouldn't take anything he said seriously

That dude should have been fired to begin with. Another dumb decision by Phil and the owner. DUMB DUMB DUMB. Dumb contract to a dumb dude like Fisher who has never coached at any level before and never really was elite at his position. Dumb dumb dumb
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

One of the worst things about last night was Mills. He reacted like an idiot. Probably b/c he is one.

Basically a Draft Pick has no value. The Knicks could ask for a draft pick in exchange for taking on another teams player and his cap hit. The Draft pick is just a nice parting gift. The other team benefits from getting rid of the cap hit without having to take back a player. That's how I understand it could work. When we traded for Shved we used part of a Trade Exception to balance out the contracts of Pablo and Shved. The draft picks had no cash value in the trade.

Knicks team president Phil Jackson made his predictable cap-saving move at Thursday’s trade deadline in shipping 37-year-old veteran point guard Pablo Prigioni and a $2.5 million trade exception to the Rockets in exchange for second-round picks in 2017 and 2019 and the 26-year-old Russian shooting guard.
