![]() It's not too bad. Eyes of the beholder how good or bad a position the Knicks are in.
(note: you can release and re-sign Taj to same contract if you want, and the Knicks would) https://www.spotrac.com/nba/new-york-knicks/yearly/cap/
TPEs: $9M Kemba, $1.7 Knox Knicks are 1 Burks trade from having ~$25M in cap space. Knicks are 1 Fournier trade from having ~$35M in cap space. Let's recall how often Knicks have shopped Noel and Burks over last year; they KNOW what it'll take to move those guys if necessary. Boston has an exactly Fournier sized $17M TPE. Mavs have a $10M TPE. https://www.sportsbusinessclassroom.com/listing-the-current-nba-trade-exceptions/ Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

Scarier than that... what's our backup plan? I'd feel better about keeping the course. If you can dump vets and you strike out, fine. Seeing word about trading Cam for space now? |

IF Brunson tells you he wants to come to Knicks, his ask will mostly likely be in the $20-25M range. Knicks are either a Cam or Burks trade away from being in that range. In addition to the teams that have cap space, there are additional teams that have TPE's that want to get better, ie Boston, Brooklyn, Dallas (LOL), Clippers, Portland. In addition to those teams, there are a bunch of other teams who have players that don't have full guarantees for that player; for instance, POR has Eric Bledsoe on a $19M contract where only $4M is guaranteed. It will cost them but the Knicks have options still. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

Back up plan seems to be trade for Brogdon |

I'd want more value than that. I'm down to let him play, but if we trade I want more than just cap relief... The Future is Bright!
