If you ignore capholds for a moment, the Knicks would have about 60mm to divvy up between FN, Rose, Bullock, Burks Noel and any other FA.
FN is probably gone. His caphold and eventual salary are likely to limit the Knicks in FA. Maybe they offer the QO but rescind it before he gets to deep into the RFA hunt.
Rose should be back. I can’t price him. I’d guess he gets 10mm per for 2 years.
Bullock. Feel like he will get a raise beyond our willingness to pay.
Noel - I’d give him a raise and bring him back if he is comfortable playing behind Robinson. Those two are amazing anchors to the defense. Could see another team making him their starter.
Burks - I really like Burks. On offense. Not sure if he will be back or not. Feel like his skill set is replaceable. Feel like his future is dependent on our FA.
Pretty sure this is why they want to bring in a max type player before the trade deadline. Probably easier to go over the cap to keep these guys if you already spent your FA money this year. You also gain the MLE and can use bird exception on Rose and FN.
This is the Randle.
