I still think Langston will be back when all is said and done.

I honestly wouldn't mind Sasha back either. Guy found his shot post all-star break

We still have 5 roster spots, we will need Gallo. If we lose KOQ then that's 6 empty spots. Baker and Plumlee are signed shouldn't you count them?

We could get Derrick Williams too but he's going to have to sign the sane exact contact as Lance Thomas.

Yeah, but he found his shot when the games didn't mean anything.

We renounced his rights so I don't think we can do that. I might be wrong but I think he is gone.

What's the point of making that comment? You guys can't help yourselves. Always gotta throw a negative jab when you don't need to

We did? I thought we only renounced Galloway

Roster is shaping out. We still need some instant offense off the bench and some stretch shooters to round out the roster.

No I think Begley tweeted it - we had to renounce DWill, Seraphin, Amundson, Sasha. The Galloway thing was actually so they didn't have to use the room exception on Hernangomez. But it means Hernangomez is signing for four years. I THINK we can still use the room exception on Langston... Or sign him to a minimum deal.

Galloway was lights out from three early on, but he disappeared from a lot of games as the season progressed. If the Knicks are going for broke, they should look to upgrade the bench, and that includes Galloway.

Mathematically, starting with Jennings and all our capholds, I think we might be able to keep DWill.

Assume we renounce everyone but DWill and Thomas.

Also, we cut both Baker and Plumlee. I don't need their contracts and can use rookie min exceptions to replace them if i want.

$5.28mm caphold for DWill. I want to pay him more though.

$2.127 caphold for Thomas.

Assume will pay $2.85mm of Jenning's salary using the room exception. his under cap salary is $2.15mm.

Basically, under the capholds, I have $10.4m and with these guys I only need 9.55 or so. I can bring Williams up to about 6.1mm and still do all of the above.

At least, that is my take on the numbers. If they can pull sign and trades for Noah (give them something small back), we can cost average down the early years with higher bumps to create more space this year.

This is the Randle.

I'm not claiming to fully understand the cap, but I don't think we can split the room exception and add more cap room to it for Jennings's deal. I think it has to be pure cap room. Also, don't forget we are using cap room to sign Hernangomez.

edit: Basically I think DWill is totally gone.

Yeah, I may have subconsciously modified the Room Exception to make it more palatable to what I wanted to accomplish. I must be in denial. I really liked DWill. Was a bright spot last year. He was all over the court...high energy.

This is the Randle.

Shout out to Ron Baker and Plummlee the 3rd

Maybe we'll get Bennett. David Lee? Kevin Martin. Gerald Green. Would like a lights out 3 pt shooter. Hopefully Baker turns into a Hornacek clone. A lot of veterans might be lining up looking to play for this team for the minimum we're so good now.

David Lee and Derrick Williams sound good now... And O'Quinn. Is that possible?

Hahn on the radio now talking about Justin Holiday. He said he was on the radio with Chicago guys over the weekend and they were raving about Holdiday and couldn;t believe the Bulls gave him up.
