Poison pill is only available for certain types of players. Typically 2nd rounders. Tobias isn't one of them.
And if we pay $15mil. His Max is only $17mil. So not much of a difference, and he makes a good chunk of that money up in NY/LA/CHI. Chi doesn't have the money. He's a NY guy, but Knicks would be foolish to pair him with Melo. Should look to fill the 9 other rotation spots they need to fill.
Yes. He's worth that money. Because he's 23. Has room to grow. Is close to an All Star type player. And the contracts of all players will be going up because of the huge cap increase.
