They have like $55-$60 mil and like i said if they can get the Pels or any team to take on A.Crabbe's contract then they would have enough or close enough that a couple minor moves be made to get there like adding D.Carroll in the A.Davis trade or other smaller parts. Sp they could get there but would have some work to do to do it.
DCarroll is an expiring.... I don't think you can move him in the way you think.
Yeah he is but they still wouldn't need him to be able to come up with enough to sign two max players anyway. A.Crabbe is the guy they would need to get someone like the Pels or another team to take on for them to be able to afford two max guys.
First they would need to use picks and/or players to get rid of Crabbe. Then probably not resign most of their team including DRussell and maybe RHJ. And then maybe they have room got 2 max guys.
Have you done the salary cap math?
I already posted that they have $55-$60 mil right now which is obviously with D.Russell not under contract so now add A.Crabbe's $18 mil to that and they now have enough money for two max players. If it was too close and they need to get rid of a RHJ to get a couple max players then i'm sure they wouldn't have a problem doing that.
It's already been said on here multiple times that they would need to give up something to get a team to take on the Crabbe contract. This happens every offseason where a team takes a bad contract from another team to help them out but gets compensated to do it.
Teams are not doing that anymore, especially since tanking isn't a sure ticket to a top pick.
Crabbee sucks, it's not like he was putting respectable #s like THJ who makes roughly the same amount.
Ahem ahem....so as i was trying to tell you..............................
NY1248 made an impressive gaff with conviction!
Dude, trying to predict a chess game where your not a player at the board or guessing others moves based on your own thoughts without nearly all the information is one thing. It’s another to state with conviction something and then “bam” it happens. It’s kinda funny. We all wrong BTW, its just some of us are not arrogant about it. A man must know his limitations.
The biggest mistake fans make is thinking the past will dictate the future. Nets problems stem from not having a bankable star and have been awful the last few years. Nets won’t take the city by storm until they win. There are a lot of people NOT attached to the knicks like we are. Nets might not even with a chip but they will grab a big slice if they get relevant before we do. Don’t think as a die heart knick fan, have to approach things objectively with a perspective. Also respect what they have done and are doing.
