Rookie wrote:The NBA veteran minimum contract varies based on a player's exact years of service, ranging from $2,296,274 for a player with two years of experience to $3,634,153 for a veteran with 10 or more seasons under their belt.
The NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement ties minimum player salaries to the overall league salary cap. Because the league encourages teams to sign seasoned veterans over younger players, if a team signs a player with three or more years of experience to a one-year, minimum-salary contract, the team is only charged the equivalent of a two-year veteran minimum against their salary cap, with the NBA reimbursing the rest of the player's salary.
I still don’t understand what that second paragraph means but generally speaking I’m expecting us to sign a couple veteran minimum deals and draft a couple of players to sign to 2way contracts.
This leaves the 31st pick as a big question mark. Veesaar is sitting there and is a VERY good player. Skilled 7’ers like him who can stretch the floor and defend are perfect for a second unit that wants to play with pace. I hope we don’t trade this pick. We could sign Veesaar to a multi year second round exemption contract
I thought Vaseer’s issue was defense?
It is

We have enough young players anyway!
Agreed .
We can also add a few vet min guys that can contribute from day 1
Vet mins cost more than a 2nd rounder

Second time I've checked out this guy. He grew on me.
I like his mobility and scoring touch. He could be very effective due to his off the ball ability in a motion offense
And he can board
We need size. Draft him and let the staff beef him up a little and the coaches can level up his defense
As a 2nd unit C he doesn't have to be a bully. Huk is not exactly a bully either. The only one that we have like that is Mitch and if he comes back, a C like this adds diversity to our attack.
You could very easily play this guy with another C on the floor due to his mobility. He can essentially be our PF pick if you see it through that lens
I like him too. Seems to be the more modern NBA big, but Knicks didn't work him out (as far as I can tell). The one they did work out who is still available and may be more similar to Mitch is Ugonna Onyenso from Virginia
Great point. Knicks don’t draft guys they haven’t worked out.

So the trade with the Lakers was just to buy more time while we worked the phones? Maybe we were going to draft Zuby at 24

That is a great point and kills by Jaden Bradley dreams.
Got to pivot to Mark Mitchell who they did work out then.

If they draft you or I tonight then that argument crumbles into loose sand
