Knicks · Desperation mode (page 1)
This where the Knicks desperation starts to kick in and they make moves for lower tier superstars and max them out. The Knicks need not get desperate and max players out that are not deserving of it. They need to avoid any signing of this sort and they should just stay the course with youth movement. If they are going after 2nd tier players then no way they should offer any max deals.
They get into massive trouble when they make decisions based on pure desperation.
We're in good hands

Let’s see how it goes. Its a nice line to say after striking out on a deviation from the rebuilding plan.

But if we go into this season and continue to rebuild, DSJR and a couple of pics wasn’t that big of haul. Don’t really care if KP threatened to go back to Europe.
If we don’t use our cap space I just don’t love the perception it paints.
I’m a little worried we don’t take Barrett and trade down.

We got a pretty good return considering his issues/injuries. We could always use cap space to acquire more picks thanks to that tradeBut if we go into this season and continue to rebuild, DSJR and a couple of pics wasn’t that big of haul.

So let’s just use the cap space because. Nice

Again, KP had his issues.If you don’t use the cap space because the guy you wanted ruptured his Achilles I would think the perception would be that you were being smart with your assets. I think there is a good chance Durant needs a recovery year like HeywRx before he gets back to form. That means the Knicks would be tying up a ton of cap for two years to have Durant when he is going into his 33 and 34. There are always opportunities that come up for teams that have cap space and picks. Doing something for perception sake would be the wrong move in my opinion.But if we go into this season and continue to rebuild, DSJR and a couple of pics wasn’t that big of haul.

The winning is far far away for the Knics... and a lot of dirty work...
Finally something interesting first time in last 20 years.

How so? They didnt want to give up too many building blocks, only enough to get Davis. Im glad that NO passed, still dont believe it was a mortgaging the future kind of offer. Still competitive, could call it due diligence.
The Lakers made a mortgaging the future offer and the Pelicans gladly accepted. Perry/Mills tried, but not too hard.

Nope. Can't trade with yourself.

Three things
1) Knicks need to get to the salary floor. Having the most cap space is nice in one way, but brings some issues in another.
2) John Wall is the real threat. Wizards badly want to dump that contract and the Knicks are in a prime position to absorb him. Do I think it's a good move? No, but I can see the open pathways that would make it happen.
3) The pathway that seems likely is absorbing bad contracts for picks attached. Finding a DeMarre Carroll situation is unlikely ( Give NardDog credit, he made a good call last offseason about absorbing Carroll for a pick and even some usefulness. Good job, NardDog) but maybe there is some opportunity there.

The problem with players like Wall is the length of commitment and the likelihood of any positive contribution.
I think a strategy that nets a better result might be to shadow teams who cannot afford all of their assets and are in danger of losing a contributing but not critical member of their team. Favors in Utah for example.
He'd be a great addition to the Knicks.
Griffin in Detroit is another example of a player highly paid on an under-performing team. Maybe they'd wrap a FRP in with Griffin for the taking just to fiscally right their ship.

We don't have to get to the salary floor, all that happens if we don't is the money get's divided up between the players on our roster, which would be nice for Mitch- he's drastically underpaid.

Technically you don't need to get to the salary floor if you go to the letter of the law in the CBA
However, after the fallout of Sam Hinkie and the 76ers, if you actually do it, your franchise is fucked. The league administration will fuck you. The NBAPA and agents don't like teams doing it because it's a form of inflationary control on salaries in general.
How the league administration can fuck you over
1) Reduced nationally televised game schedule
2) More back to backs and shitty scheduling in the future
3) No chance at ever hosting league events or an All Star game
4) Refs will be ordered to fuck your team over more than before
5) League will fuck with any brand support you get that they also have ties to in some fashion
6) If you are in the draft lottery, the rigging will fuck you over more than before
7) Any small infraction will merit the worst possible response allowed by the league
8) No general league protection from the media ( The league buries a shit load of dirt that if it made the press, would make people's eyes bleed from the shit that people in the league do that would piss off the public)
You can do it, go below the salary floor, but prepare to be horsefucked.
It's like when you start a new job and the boss says "I have an open door policy, talk to me about anything" Who actually does that shit? Do it, see what happens to you. Be the new guy and rock the boat, and see what the fuck happens to you.
Also cap space unused, you don't get a credit for it. Dead cap space is under utilizing a valuable asset base. It's burning out the Zinger trade value for nothing. It doesn't mean to sign a bad deal, but you need to find a way to use the space somehow.

You forgot to cycle out of PED’s and most likely getting “Horsefucked” by a mouth breathing gold digger.
I’m not sure the wrath of Silver would come raining down on the franchise that I believe still has the most paid in taxes to the league via the Isiah Era if they cap floored for just one season.
Your last sentence is the most poignant. Moving the cap space cost us KP and while we are all about hating on Brothers Porzingis, we still moved an all star talent and need to use the cap space to obtain assets. If taking on bad contract for picks it has to still make sense. Griffin was bought in to sell tickets in Detroit and got them a playoff birth. Their attendance In a new arena was pathetic. Thats a trade we don’t make and he s just entering a new contact. He is not a salary dummp. Look at Miami and Whiteside at 27mm. Miami could do better if he is in “expiring contract mode” and trade him before the deadline to a playoff team where for us he might be useful but no future with us. Be the kind of rim protector Lakers will need late next year but we’d need to waive him as we did Enes. Miami has to make it worth our while. Dragic would be ok here too.
I’m not into the fiction that all vets make good role models. Whiteside does not strike me the kind of role model type. Dragic might be some east European aryan type. I don’t know, but just because he is experienced does not mean he is willing and able to provide leadership and take a graceful seat at the bench. He might be all about playing and want a new contract. I’m not calling out Dragic BTW, just a “for instance”.
