i WOuld Give him 4 years 20 mill....then that would free about 18 million in cap space for this year...to sign Lebron or somebody??

I think he would have had to opt out. Also, he makes more than that just next year.

Amare already opted in so it's a moot point.

Papabear Says

Let's do a sign and trade with Pau Gasol for Amare

I think that we should give Amare 8 years x 300 million. Why not? He made us relevant.
CrushAlot @ 7/4/2014 11:34 AM
The Knicks might be able to stretch provision on Amare's deal.

Agreed, but with a player option after the 7th year.

Does he really love the Knicks that much to forego $23 million for one year to take $20 million over 4? Otherwise, it makes zero sense. You'd have to incentivize it so that he'd have his security AND be making more money.

No one in their right mind would do this Let me play for 4 years to make less money then I would if I just play 1 just to help out. You would have to 4 for 50 or something like that

You can stretch Amare, that is only for deals signed after the new CBA.
