Stars are max contract guys. Here are the three levels of max contracts for this summer: 1-6 years service is 25% of the cap or $38.5 million. But these guys are restricted and almost never move via free agency. 7-9 years of service is 30% of the cap or $46.2 million. 10+ years of service is 35% of the cap or $53.9 million That is the cap space you need this summer to sign a max guy

Yep. Go get a star if you can. Ivey had a nice 30 game run. But who knows how his season would have ended. Plus, he is a bit small and defense is a question. Duren was OK this series but lets not pretend he didn't need to be hidden on Hart. Stew is locked in at $15 million per year for the next 3 years. Almost no interest in moving him. Thompson might be the least likely player I would trade at this point. He is basically our only point of attack defender at this point. Holland basically just plays hard at this point. Very young though. They don't have cap room to land a star so it will have to come via trade if it comes.

Good jobs report but some revisions from the past two months. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Sorry to hear Steph passed away.

Gotta tip the hat to Brunson. Thompson is going to make multiple all defensive teams in the future, and Brunson put him on skates.

Year

Are you paying to keep Beasley?

How do you lose 3 home games in a series.

Not this summer. They don't have to worry about it until 2026 though.

Would love to see that series with Ivey and Stew playing.

I thought Duren was excellent tonight.

In defense of Cade. Nobody on Detroit not named Cade would start for the Knicks.

JB with the dumb lineups was a big reason for the loss. Cade can't go 9-22 and 0-8 from three in a close out game. Big responsibility comes with max contracts.

Celtics must be licking their chops after watching the Knicks this series.

I mean, Beasley was one of the best 3PT shooters in the league this year and was wide open. You pass him the ball 100 times out of 100.

I hope the first question to JB is why he took Thompson out at the 3 minute mark.

A lot of questions are going to be asked abouto Cade this summer.

He beat Thompson clean
