Was that an April Fools joke?

Yeah lol.

Anyway why is Elton Brand being considered? Because he’s from New York?

Brand is a major home run move type of executive in his short time.

The Julius Randle habit that’s driving Knicks teammates crazy

Bruh, this is the same thing we've been preaching. Is this real? If they knew this, why didn't they bench him and Payton?

Cause they still had a win game edict and you ride the vets when you are asked to win games. This organization is trash though

We'll never see our young players play together consistently for a year or 2 with the same coach.

 

[Wargames]

Well at least we know Leon Rose has an idea what Haliburton and Obi can do.

Cap space is going to be worth a premium

It makes Leon’s attempt to hire that Cavs capologist Brock Aller seem like a smarter move.

We gonna have the most space in a down year. For once the Knicks are positioned to eat.

add to this that this



And I think they are going to prioritize moving Randle. He’s not an outright albatross, he just doesn’t fit the rest of the roster as constructed.

There are worst expiring contracts out there, and some teams might grab him to fill a bit of space temporarily so they can use the MLE and resign players. The wolves especially need that because they want to keep Malik (who we could also target).

 

[storyteller]

The combination of just a few teams even having space and potential luxury tax implications on the decrease is what has me most intrigued about where we go from here...

Of course, a cap decrease could indirectly benefit the Knicks as well. It would, in theory, leave more teams on the hook for paying the luxury tax. If owners of those teams don't want to pay the tax, they would be forced to shed salary. The Knicks could use their cap space to take on undesired salary from one of those teams while also acquiring an asset with value (a talented young player or draft pick).

It depends on they work out all of these salary cap and revenue changes but it's conceivable that teams will find themselves either at the luxury tax or closer than they had planned for. That could mean some unforeseen opportunities pop up.
