I think Blake takes the option then
If Kawhi, and Jrue Holiday stays,, and Oladipo joins Heat
Who should Knicks target?
Knicks have $73 million practical cap room
Does it matter? Players have shown they have no interest in playing for them. They bring Carmelo back.
Knicks will be all in on Blake Griffin & will trade for Corey Joseph…
They should be targeting Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, etc, etc etc…
Some slim pickings there. My guess is 2 COVID impaired seasons will reduce overpays next off season, and a lot of these players will not get any offers at all.
Very slim pickings indeed. Outside of maybe Oladipo to Miami I think most teams looking for an upgrade will go the trade route instead of free agency.
