Isn't there any way we can cut Eisley or Knight or in the offseason say they didn't make the team because collectively they average about 5 minutes a game and they do absolutely nothing. Isn't there anyway the Knicks can just get rid of them, like releasing them or sending them to the NBDL or just offering them a buyout in the offseason. Christ, I get so angered because I know these two are the biggest reasons for the salary cap struggles. If you get rid of Eisley you can draft a point guard and getting rid of Knight opens up cap space. Does anyone know any ways we can get rid of them?

Knight? Keep him, he has serviceable height and showed some hustle.

Eisley and Knight arent our reason for the salary cap troubles, not even close. Eisley earns 4.5 something and Knight 3.6 mil. If you waive them they still count against the cap for at least two years. Our salary cap hit however is is somewhere around 85 mil.. Should be max 54 shouldn't it? That's the Luxury tax limit while the actual cap is 41 million.

What counts against our cap besides the players on the team?

Frederic Weiss, Vernon Maxwell, Luc Longley and Larry "Grandma" Johnson. That's somewhere around 20 million right there.

Ward 5.5
Jax 3.6
Eisley 4.5
Postell .5
Houston 12.5
Spree 11
Anderson 5.5
Robinson .5
KT 4.5
Spoon 4.5
Camby 6.5
Spencer .5
Othella 2.5
Knight 3.6

That's a cap hit of somewhere around 61 million. So even if you would waive the two you'd still have them count against the cap like Maxwell did or like LL and LJ.

Cutting or waiving someone with a guranteed contract, and all the players have guaranteed contracts, would only result in opening up a roster spot but you still have to pay them and they count against the cap.

If we were dedicated to clearing our salary cap woes we would have to trade for a large contract that expires in a year or two. Juwan Howard and Scottie Pippen for instance.
