“Villanova Dogs and a Domesticated WildKAT... Make It Make Sense..." Official 2024 NY Knicks off-season Thread

Bogeys contract pushes it over as well

I included Bogey in my math, but technically, they could waive him for the non-guaranteed money back. That'd give them plenty more leeway to re-sign the other guys, and they could try to replace him in the draft.

Draft picks? Back-ups?

This team is one player away from competing for a CHAMPIONSHIP... and yall talking about side pieces

Every good path to a ring involves dependable and mature side pieces.



Don't ask me how.

I saw a clip of him saying it but I didn’t see the numbers he used to get there. I’ve got the Knicks active cap hit at about 129 million. The projection I saw for the second apron was at 189.5 million. So OG 35 and I-Hart 19, plus minimum contracts or cap holds for the last roster spots would get close to it.

But I think even then they’d come just underneath it. And my sneaking suspicion is that they’d work with the players and their agents to come to fair terms that would leave the wiggle room they need.

But I suck at this cap math stuff. There’s gotta be a KFS writer doing the hard math instead of just peaking at sportrac and working things out in his head. My sense has been that the Knicks can bring back the two key guys. It’s the move after that which would run up to the apron. But I’m definitely deferring to others here. I screw up the salary cap all the time.

Same. I thought we were good money until Jalen and Julius hit their extensions at least.

It’s basically KDs fault. To prevent another Warriors situation. Just sucks cause even teams who organically build or make smart decisions within the margins get hurt too.

Top YouTube comment is my thoughts exactly:
“Finally get our act together and now all the rules are different.”

Mitch is probably gone. Although I SLIGHTLY prefer his defensive skill set over I-Harts offense, you can’t count on his durability. Flipping him to OKC for a pick or two and then trying to grab someone like Nick Richard’s from CHA would be the move and saves us like 10 million.

Zion please

Zion please

He went to the wrong school.

We made the same observation in here too. OG and DV were feasting on corner threes when everybody was fully healthy. We need to find a way to run this shyt back. We legit have one of the best teams in the league when healthy.

it wasn't KD's fault. It was Golden State's fault for basically saying it didn't matter how high the tax bill got. They were gonna pay cuz they print money.

Sure. But if they were going deep into the tax to pay Harrison Barnes. Nobody gives a fukk. This was about competitive balance and finding a way to dissuade teams from creating super teams.

that comment was made after KD left though (remember, they signed KD with cap space).

Ryan Dunn’s ceiling is a Deandre Hunter/Reggie Bullock/Robert Convington type player, but he has to shoot that 3. If he can’t make an outside shot at a decent he’s essentially unplayable. If the Knicks draft him in the 20’s it isn’t a stretch but it is a risk.
