Hope the first two do. They made the product better this year but have no interest bringing them back at better terms. Rather employ their combined dollars in fa. Lance? He's become a versatile, useful player. Id like to see him return at a reasonable price

I would be very suprised if AA/DWill/Langston/Lance arent up for big raises next year. I also think that puts them all on the block this weekend. Good role players, not guys we are ready to pay. Just not there yet.

Phil answer that question by saying recently, none of those guys currently had any real trade value, although he put it more politely.
With this being a perimeter base system, which has a ton of low percentage shots, no one on this roster (atleast the ones we would like to replace) will get any real offers better than their current ones

Let 'em bounce. Only Thomas is the one we'd sorta value, because he guards the quicker small forwards Melo can't.
Lance is poor homeless man's version of a 3 and D guy. Our Draymond, but not really. Our Kawhi, but hell no. If he wants a big raise, he can kick rocks too.
Save the money for Batum/Conley this season or wait out Westbrook/CP3 next.

These players opting out would be the only real chance of us being able to sign a max player in the offseason. That, and using the amnesty clause on Calderon's contract and waiving him.

Thomas definitely will. He's clearly underpaid for his value. Dwill might for a longer contract, but i don't think he should get more money per year. He provides a nice spark off the bench and can have some big games, but can't be relied on. Afflalo is a tough call. I think he gets paid correctly for his value as a spot starter/6th man type who can provide offense.

If they all four opt out the only two i'd really want back are Gallo and Lance and AA and DW can kick rocks which will give us another $13 million to spend.

There is almost a 0.0000009% chance that Gallo leaves. He is a restricted RFA and the maximum teams can offer him is the league minimum. The only way he leaves is if a team adds a "poison pill" in the last year of his deal and the knicks decide not to match.
