It’s Going To Be Tough To Keep Wil AND Sign ‘Melo

[cty (cty)]

Under the rules of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, which expires
this summer, it will be exceedingly difficult for the Knicks to re-sign
Wilson Chandler this summer and also sign Carmelo Anthony.

Assuming the cap remains at $58 million, the Knicks will have almost $40
million in commitments assuming Turiaf opts out of his deal. Wilson Chandler’
s cap hold is going to be roughly $6.4 million, which would put the Knicks at
about $46 million in salary commitments exclusive of whoever they draft. That
leaves just about $12 million left to play with, which is not enough to sign
‘Melo.

Clearly something has to give. The Knicks might need to renounce Chandler in
order to afford ‘Melo, but that wastes an asset. Instead he should be
included in a deal for ‘Melo, or for someone other than ‘Melo who is making
about $1 or $2 million at most so that the Knicks can also afford their draft
pick and ‘Melo.

OR, the Knicks can make another trade this year to open up some cap space
like AR/Gallo/Douglas/Turiaf in a cost cutting deal.

Now, if Turiaf doesn’t opt out of his deal, then it doesn’t look like the
Knicks cannot afford to give ‘Melo a max deal irrespective of what they do
with Wilson Chandler.

One way out of this could be (assuming Turiaf opts out) the Knicks tendering
and Wil accepting the qualifying offer. Wil’s qualifying offer is $3.1
million. If the Knicks extend it, they can fill in their roster, and then go
over the cap to sign Wil to any amount.

推 BleuOmbre:NBA 的交易真的是門藝術，總之為了 Melo 陣容會有所變動
推 MOJS:樓上放大決，錢走了變動應該不小..Galo頂不住那個位置吧
推 CCZ:但我覺得如果Melo來，整個陣容來說留Galo比留WC好欸....
→ MOJS:可是..現在威錢打的是PF內線支援..要讓甜瓜或Galo去補嗎..
→ MOJS:說不定他們可以啦，指是我對內線情況感到憂心..
推 MOJS:想一了下 Melo打pf有何不可呢XD
推 JoshSmith:Melo打pf就要防守一堆肌肉棒子 別浪費他的得分啊
→ JoshSmith:對尼克陣容 Chandler > Galo 吧
推 MOJS:錢>Galo應該沒錯，我說的pf重點就是在防守端，錢現在就是扛一
→ MOJS:堆肌肉棒子有時候還要幫忙包夾打阿罵的人，很不幸的他在進攻
→ MOJS:端表現還比Galo好(或者你要說差不多)，開季本來以為Galo要打
→ MOJS:到PF的，或許是錢在防守上>Galo吧，Melo看起來比Galo適合打pf
→ MOJS:開季本來是讓屠夫+Moz打C，阿罵打PF(今年明星賽也是排PF)
→ MOJS:但是隨著屠夫的受傷，Moz的實力還不到先發，阿罵拉上C後
→ MOJS:球隊開啟了一波連勝阿= =，阿罵好像也有說他不想打C
推 uuuc1223:今年季初金塊大前鋒海受傷melo其實很多時間在打PF
→ uuuc1223:那段時間的得分和籃板績效就不說了  沒什麼好挑剔
→ Sakber:但其實要完整發揮阿罵的能力還是要PF就是
→ Sakber:阿罵打C遇到一些硬禁區的球隊會很吃虧
