OfficiaL '16 NYK offseason thread, Melo goes to bodega in bathrobe and Olympic hat

8pm at msg · Jul 2, 2016

Basically banking on Kristaps fulfilling his potential/being our centerpiece.

So in the short term....lets see what Melo has left in the tank.

B+ offseason thus far
could go to A- once the roster is filled

I made this team on 2K about a week ago right after the Rose trade cause I felt it was the most realistic. Weird as hell

Lee made HB do the splits

How.... Rose off the books for $21m and another rising cap.

Dudes always reaching for the negative. Well still have enough bread to max Westbrook or KD or CP3 or whoever if we let Rose walk.

Can't we sign someone else and bring Rose back with his bird rights?

I gotta say the Lakers did well this offseason. Really changed the dynamic of that team by signing Mozgod and Deng. That should really get them over the hump and win 32 games.

Nope because of cap hold

If Rose tests FA, his $21 mill will be added to cap hold unless we renounce his bird right to offer a superstar a max

we have about ~$4M left in cap space for a bench player.

we could go over the cap to bring back Galloway & Pookie so i'm not that worried about them

d3si · Jul 2, 2016

The good thing is that we didn't get Wade. Otherwise, we'd be forced to renounce Lance's, Derrick Williams' and Gallo's bird rights

No matter what moves we make, we will get bashed. How the F won't we have cap space next year when the cap is going up and DRose comes off the books?

Phillip just laying the foundation for '17-'18

This...I want answers

I def wouldn't sign Gallo for anything more than the league minimum. Truthfully I would rather give a hungry D leaguer a shot. We already saw what Gallo can do and id rather give someone else a chance.

you go boy · Jul 2, 2016

so basically we can let rose walk next year and scoop up westbrook :pimp:

Air Pope · Jul 2, 2016

Eric Gordon is gettin paid more than Courtney Lee. Count your blessings y'all.

you go boy · Jul 2, 2016

to be honest gordon would have been a good pickup but hes too injury prone which is bad since we already got rose and noah who arent durable

ihust1e · Jul 2, 2016

ROSE

LEE

MELO

NOAH

PORZINGAS

Wouldn't it be awesome for The Knicks to be good and the Nets to be decent, I want to see a real rivalry.

Especially with Lin over there now.

Saw someone tweet something along the lines of 'the Brook-Lin PnR' the other day and I was mad at how damn clever that was lol

We'd definitely have cap. The question is that I don't know how much NBA will add in cap next summer.

Yahoo predicts $107 mill for NBA salary cap
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/nyk/salary/

2017
Guaranteed Salaries: 47,462,408 (Melo, Noah and O'Quinn)

Non-Guaranteed: 4,503,600 (KP... I assume we'll pick up his option so it will be added to guaranteed salaries)

Cap hold: 23,404,161 (D-Rose, Holiday)

Cap space: 28,254,873 (w/o Lee's contract. W/ Lee's contract, it'd be around $15,754,873... It'd probably be lower if we give Lance, DWill or Gallo 2-3 year contract)

If we want to go after Westbrook, Blake or CP3, we have to renounce D-Rose's bird rights

I hope it's helpful
