Knicks Admit Off-Season Was A Mistake, Pay In Picks But Get Bamba


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Knicks get a look at Mo Bamba and clear salary as they release Gary Harris, allowing him to go play for a contender as they pivot to playing their youth. The cost of getting off Fournier, Kemba and Noel is the picks. The Detroit 2nd they gave up should have similar value to a late round first as Detroit should be bad and the pick should be in the 31 to 37 range.

Orlando gets paid in picks to add a bit of salary for next year, taking on a few players they may (or may not) play. Fournier still has value and was a fan favorite at one point so he should get minutes but Kemba and Noel are both expiring in 2023 (Noel's 3rd year is non-guaranteed) so they could be used trade chips if they are not released. I don't think Noel would get cut and I do think he'd get rotation minutes behind Carter but Kemba could be released without much harm on the cap for a team that isn't gonna be a player for free agents anyway.
