If they sign him as a FA, knicks would have the highest payroll in the league, but only for next seasonThey are over the cap and luxury tax and could only offer him the mini-MLE.Do you think Lowry signs a 3 year deal for 9 million?If Melo leaves they'll be in line to be a non-taxpayer and could sign and trade for him I guess....How can the nets have a total salary over 100 but the knicks cant for next season? The Knicks can have a salary over $100m next season. They just need Bargnani to exercise his ETO, then resign him to a max contract using his Bird rights.

The sum of the Knicks salaries comes to just over $90 million.LOL. Sorry. Couldn't help myself.Not friendly, but TP.edit: also, as to "Danny Ainge has never kept a top-10 draft pick."He's only ever had two. Come On.http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/draft.html

Danny and Wyc keep talking about fireworks in the offseason and these are likely the deals they are talking about.
Again Danny has never drafted and kept a top 10 pick as a gm of the celtics.
This thread illustrates why this will not be a one year rebuild IMO. Triboy's trade offers for Asik and Love are fairly close to what I believe it would take to acquire these two players. And it seems like most people realize that a team based around Love, Rondo, and Asik is not going to get out of the 2nd round, let alone win a title.This team is desperately low on talent. We need to suck at least one more year (if not two), gather some top-end prospects, and then either build around them or move them for veteran talent.This isn't going to be a one year fix.

You're probably right about Love, but I wouldn't be surprised if Asik is available for very little to a team with the ability to absorb his contract without sending any guaranteed salary back.

Look at what is happening now with Howard injured. Asik has stepped right inMorey loves the draft. Even trading a few spots could entice him to give up Asik to us
If Asik, Love, Rondo is not the main trio that is going to give you a decent chance, then you might as well go onto plan 2, 3 etc.
