Mike Miller is still under a Knicks contract for next year.  Maybe he can re-join Westchester's coaching staff.

I know. Just hoping he finds a better position elsewhere. I’m sure the Knocks wouldn’t mind.

CP3 rumor

I’m also told that there is a deal on the table that is comfortable from Sam Presti’s perspective, and the ball is in Leon Rose’s court.

nice

(Presti I am sure is fine taking 1-year salary matches and the 8th and one other pick)

You'd be willing to give up 1st round picks for old expensive CPThree?

Well, no.  I meant NICE that Presti is dealing with us


I think Rose would negotiate down from that ask.

Knix were probably an early call.  We're always suckers for old overpaid Big Names.

The market for CP3 could be limited.  A lot of teams will be watching their financials.

I'm not sure how limited the market will be.

There's at least a few teams that may see Paul as the missing piece in a wide-open championship situation. As marvelous as the Lakers were (very), nobody views them as a unstoppable machine given the age of their prime mover (that may be a mistake.)

And if league revenues get significantly reduced by covid next season, player salaries will be reduced to reflect that, limiting the potential damage to holding Paul's contract.

So, could be wrong, but I really don't expect a fire sale.

I think they'll just hold on to him if the market isn't robust.

Is that really true?  As a max player  CP3 takes up percentage of a team's cap.  So it should be an equal hit under any cap#, right?

If the cap is 120 and CP3 is scheduled to earn 35% that's 42mil , leaving the team another 78mil or 65%.
If the cap is 100 and CP3 is scheduled to earn 35% that's 35mil, leaving the team another 65mil or, again, 65%.

So it's an equal hit UNLESS all other non-MAX players made a fixed salary and not one determined by a percentage.

BUT if that were the case then non-MAX players cap hits would be more than normal in a shrinking cap which then makes every % more precious and actually CP3 would be MORE COSTLY in that scenario...  as fewer teams would be able to to take on a 35% hit in a shrinking cap that has to account for fixed salaries of non-MAX players.

So taking on CP3's remaining money will constitute either an equal or greater cost to a team's cap.  Not a lesser one.  Meaning CP3's contract is either the same or an even bigger albatross than it would've been if the cap didn't shrink.

I think your theory doesn't hold water.

I will admit that watching CP3 or Westbrook running the team would be much more interesting than Randle or RJB bringing it up, or Franc trying to cross halfcourt with a live dribble.

Though why not just toss $25M at FVV.  A 4/$100M contract.
Start him at $26.5M, dropping $1M per year ($23.5M final year).
Is he really turning that down?
Any chance TOR matches?

Boom, we have a starting PG.
Draft a shooter -- Vassell or TyH.
FVV - Vassal - Mitch = 3 solid defenders.
Giving us 2 guys who can hit 3's.

FVV - RJB - Vassell - Randle - Mitch
Things would start to come into focus.

Keep Bullox and Mo Hark(?).
We have Knox and Franc.
Decide what to do with Elf, Jr. Smith, Franc.
Pick up a backup C (Len, Meyers Leonard, Somebody Else)
