    I don’t get it, is there even a feasible trade for Marcus Smart that wouldn’t put them over the second apron (they are currently hard capped at the second apron following the Towns trade)?

    Not saying whether it would be a good or bad idea (it would be a bad idea), but could it even feasibly be done? I am sure Memphis would trade him right now for Deuce, whatever pick the Knicks can still trade, and filler, but is that even possible?

    Yup, it sounds very strange if not “fakenewsian”.

    The only trade I can fathom is one where they trade Mitch for someone whose contract would give us a little more breathing room under the second apron (like for instance Valanciunas who makes 4M and change less than Mitch but is signed for one more year).

    Not that I would like that trade, but at least it would make sense.

    Smart makes 20.2M this year and 21.6M the next, how can you accomodate him under the second apron?
    Is there a world where they trade Hart and another small contract for him? But doesn’t it make us even smaller?

    Brian, the filler in your trade would have to be Mitch (14.3M) and another player making 1M. It doesn’t make any sense. And money aside, i think Marcus Smart doesn’t make sense for us, is he better than Deuce?

    Was there a trade Leon has made recently that the media knew in advance? I guess we can put that trade in the “not Smart” folder! 😀

    The only way this makes any sense is that the Knicks are quite good at keeping who they are chasing a secret in part by allowing false rumours to go unchecked. I do not want to root for an annoying 30yr old ex-Celtic when I can root for the development of Deuce and Kolek instead.

    Following on what Max said, an injured Mitch for a healthy Valanciunas kind of make sense, isn’t it?

    On the other hand, everyone has known for four years that Leon wanted KAT. It just took forever to close the deal, and the timing of it surprised us all.

    I would guess that they have had interest in Smart in the past. But as Brian notes, if it’s not a salary cap impossibility right now, it’s close enough that it wouldn’t seem worth Brock Aller trying to jump through hoops to make happen.
