    I don't think we go near Howard, especially since he'll want a longer deal and we ultimately want Taps at the 5. That and Duhwight is a headcase and I imagine Phil wants to avoid him like the plague.

      Could be good in the East or quickly a typical Knicks season.
      Ain't that the truth. Howard is an awful locker room guy. Don't want any part of him near the team

            I'm so happy he's gone it's almost as good as getting a good player by itself LOL.

              He'll get hurt during his physical. Typical Knicks, doesn't matter who's in charge. This franchise is cursed.

                  Correct me if I'm wrong but we can still purchase a draft pick this year?

                    I don't know how that works exactly but I think there's an amount of money that can be spent no matter how many seconds you have.

                      Cap update with the trade taken into account from Reddit:

                      Notable Cap Space Options:

                      Currently has $11,468,523 in free cap space as the rights to the pending free agents have not been renounced. With that being said, the Knicks will most likely renounce all of their UFAs with NBR because there is no advantage to having their holds.
                      Renounce all pending free agents: $35,060,905 and 5 PUC This figure takes into account the incomplete roster charges ($543,471 x 7 = $3,804,297).
                      Renounce all pending free agents except Galloway: 32,335,902 and 5 PUC.
                      Renounce all pending free agents except Galloway & Thomas: $30,208,007 and 5 PUC.
                      Renounce all pending free agents except Galloway, Thomas, & Early: 29,027,576 and 5 PUC.
                      Only players we're on the hook for past this season are Melo, Porzingis, and KOQ. I LOVE the flexibility this has given us.

                        Brain freeze.

                        In my excitement I thought we acquired a 2016 pick from the Bulls.

                        Carry on

                          We have flexibility...but because this FA class is so piss poor we have to tread carefully. I looked at the list of FAs.

                          Nicolas Batum and Joakim Noah are the guys that I like. Both are up there in age and Noah has health issues.

                          Dwight would just be a clown so I'm not even entertaining the thought of that.

                          Also, I didn't realize that Galloway was a RFA.

                          I can easily see a team offering him a bloated contract.

                          Everyone is talking Center but we have no SG.

                          Demar Derozan is a good player but he can't shoot and I can't see him leaving Toronto for anywhere besides LAL.

                          Noah and Batum would balance us defensively which is what we need. But that starting 5 won't play many games together because they're all injury prone.

                            I think Phil likes Howard actually. He was always defending him in 2013.

                              May have been Phil just protecting his interests...I mean wife.
