2015 NY Knicks offseason thread, Los Almighty appreciation thread

I actually thought of a rule where say the teams with the 3 worst records can vote on one high school player they would draft for sure to make him eligible. So if the next Lebron is coming out he can jump to the pros.

Obviously it's just like a brain stormed idea :lol:

there are a lot of great college players whose game just doesnt translate to the NBA. im probably one of the few people that prefer the "new" rule where you cant jump straight from highschool. i think players need AT LEAST one year to develop in the college ranks.

It's a great rule
 
Knicks' 2015 cap space could increase to $27 million

Earlier this month, we took a look at the New York Knicks' projected cap space this summer.

Now that New York has the No. 4 pick in the draft, the numbers have changed slightly.

Here’s why:

Our earlier projections were based on the Knicks owning the No. 2 pick in the draft, who will be paid $4.2 million in the first year of his contract.

The No. 4 pick will be paid $3.4 million in the first year of his contract. This gives the Knicks an extra $800,000 to work with this summer.

Right now, New York has four players with guaranteed contracts for 2015-16: Carmelo Anthony ($22.88 million), Jose Calderon ($7.4 million), Tim Hardaway Jr. ($1.3 million) and Cleanthony Early ($845,000).

Langston Galloway’s contract of $845,000 becomes partially guaranteed on July 1. Ricky Ledo's contract of $947,276 becomes partially guaranteed in August.

When calculating the Knicks’ salary, you also need to factor in cap holds for open roster spots. (Click here for more details on those calculations.)

When you add up the cap holds, guaranteed salaries and the salaries for Galloway and Ledo, the Knicks have $40.2 million in committed salary.

That would leave them with $26.8 million to spend in free agency in this scenario, assuming that the projected cap of $67.1 million is correct.

If the Knicks were to waive Ledo, they would have $27.2 million in cap space. Let’s say they decide to sign Greg Monroe to a max contract worth $15.7 million in Year 1. That would leave them with $11.5 million to spend on other free agents.

If they were to waive both Galloway and Ledo, which is unlikely, they would have $27.5 million to spend this summer.

There's also a scenario where the Knicks could have $31.08 million in cap space this summer. They can achieve this by waiving and stretching Jose Calderon's remaining contract. If they waived and stretched Calderon and signed Monroe to a max contract, they'd still have $15.9 million to spend.

Of course, the math for all of this changes if the Knicks decide to trade their pick.

If they deal the pick in return for a 2015 pick later in the first round and a 2016 pick, they would open up some more cap space. Let’s say they traded down to the ninth pick. That pick is scheduled to make $2.2 million in Year 1.

That would give the Knicks $1.2 million more to spend this summer.

But if the Knicks trade the pick for a package that includes a player under contract for 2015-16, that would eat

into their 2015 cap space.

New York has four trade exceptions worth between $5.9 million and $1.8 million ($5.9 million from the J.R. Smith trade; $3.6 million from the Raymond Felton trade; $2.6 million from the Iman Shumpert trade; $1.8 million from the Travis Outlaw trade).

Those exceptions can be used in a trade to obtain a player with a commensurate salary. So the Knicks could potentially take back a player making as much as $5.9 million in a trade (worth noting: you can’t combine trade exceptions). This type of transaction, though, would take away nearly $6 million from their 2015 cap space.

It’s also worth noting that the Knicks would need to hold on to some of their cap space this summer if they want to sign a max player in the summer of 2016. More on that here.

Calderon makes $7.4 mil this upcoming season.... :wow: :smh:

Ugh trade is looking worse and worse considering Cleveland got desperate and gave up 2 firsts for Mozgod.... :x
 
having a blue collar body like acy is always needed. scrappy players that do the little things and can be an enforcer if need be are valuable, especially at the salary he'll command.

yeah i like smith. id be willing to offer him 3mil/year max. we need to just waive caldo using the stretch provision. i dont think anyone will even take him for a 2nd rounder in 2052.
 
Bruh we need to make a rule to no longer be allowed to mention Reggie Evans in this thread anymore or any going forward

I understand it's because we've been charmin for the longest and miss the 90s goons, but I've never seen a fan base so thirsty for a scrub
