Knicks · What if the Bulls agreed to S&T Butler to us (page 1)

But we had to take Rose also.

No deal! I can't take having a done player taking up all our cap space again!
StarksEwing1 @ 2/27/2015 3:16 PM
Doubt bulls let him go especially with rose out
EnySpree @ 2/27/2015 3:28 PM
For Melo? Cuz that's the only way that would work since we have a shit load of cap space and zero good players.
EnySpree @ 2/27/2015 3:29 PM
Anyway, I would do it. Fuck it. The triangle will stop Rose from trying to jump from the 3pt line trying to dunk it.

id do that in a heartbeat. Butler is a great two way player and his offense gets stronger every year.melo might be better scorer butler is better overall

Well they have his rights, but he doesnt have to resign there. I mean even if they offer him a max deal he may look at the CBA and say Ill wait... who knows.

Its a ridiculous idea, but its really the only thing we would have to offer the Bulls. It allows them the cap space to make roster changes. I know there are a few around here who covet Butler above all else. Just wondering what they would be willing to pay or sacrifice. In this case it wouldnt be picks or players, rather just cap space.

I might take back rose if they will take Bargs and Calderon. It would really hurt our chances to sign Monroe though but maybe there's a way or a cheap big we can sign. Or we just trade them Melo

you can't S&T RFAs.
NYKBocker @ 2/27/2015 3:38 PM
Only happens if Melo is included. What is his projected contract number?

EnySpree @ 2/27/2015 3:42 PM

No poison pill either, has to be 2yrs or less. The only thing the Knicks can do is put in some contract language similar to a no trade clause but they'd still match

Why would butler sign a 2 year or less? Maybe he'll work for a life time pass at Ricks cabaret

The player has to have been in the league 2 seasons or less to qualify for the Gilbert Arenas provision"poison pill". It might be 3 yrs but I think it's 2. Either way Butler doesn't qualify

Then we would have to ask Melo if that's ok for him to be traded there, he would say no, end of discussion. He's not going there if only Gasol and Noah are left. He knows thats not a contender.

You're right, it's two years or less. Once they've hit 3 years their team has full Bird Rights and there's no more poison pill.
