seriously... why?
the knicks better not give up their 1st round... not this year.
Because of the CBA. Allowing contracts to expire is not in a team's best interest, UNLESSS they are having financial difficulties. Obviously theKnicks have no problems financial and are making tons of money. If they allow a contract to expire that means they will have no chance at adding anotherplayer for anything more than the exception. That's not gonna do anything. So you try to add pieces and make them mesh.
If a team is CLOSE to being under the cap then you can make a move by allowing a contract to expire and bring in a FA. But not many teams are ever in aposition to do that except teams are in dire financial situations. Think about players who signed as Free Agents with teams other than their own. They'resigning with teams that have been having financial woes and are finally making a commitment to spend some money. The Knicks are in unique situation. They're playing horribly but they're the cash cows of the league..
