Sounds like the Knicks will be TRYING to do something.

BRIGGS @ 2/18/2015 4:38 PM

It sounds like we are going to try and do something.

We have 1 ending contract worth 12mm

then you go down to Jose who s at 7.5mm for 2

then you go to 3.5

do we have trade exemptions?

According to ESPN we have four:

$3.6M from Felton trade

$1.8M from Outlaw trade

$2.6M from Shumpert trade

$5.9M from JR trade

He didn't post the comments by Phil where he says that there isn't interest in Bargs or Calderon and that they will need Bargs to replace the loss of Melo & Stats scoring.

smackeddog @ 2/18/2015 4:51 PM

Not getting my hopes up- we're in a tough spot with few assets. It would be nice to get a player or two to give us reasons to watch the remaining games.

StarksEwing1 @ 2/18/2015 4:55 PM

I doubt anything substantial happens nor should it considering the season will be over not too long. Hopefully phil can get a 2nd rounder or 2

gunsnewing @ 2/18/2015 4:56 PM

I would take a pick in 2016

i still cant believe we gave away our 2016 pick for bargnani

gunsnewing @ 2/18/2015 5:14 PM

Knicks will make some kind of move. If only to get fans and media off their back over Melo

actually i think the majority of fans are happy he shut it down finally also better our chances at a top pick

pipe dream, just base on the trades that phil has done so far since he's been here. None have made us better, but only 10x worse. Any joe blow prez can make a trade to clear cap space when the player there trading has an expiring contract..

Phil will get calls from teams needing 3rd party help in some of these deals. There should be opportunities to get some assets in that role. It's going to be very interesting to see what Phil can do.
