Hard Cap

This trade would result in the Knicks crossing the tax apron of ($188.9M) while hardcapped at the 2nd apron. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $4.3M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Financial

Knicks are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($51.1M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are now an over second apron team after this trade, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.

LEBRON (Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off) impact data is provided by BBall Index . See how LEBRON is calculated, and explore the data.

Detroit becomes the main taker for KAT in getting KD to New York. A new starting five of Cade, Ivey, Ausar, KAT, Stewart is ELECTRIC! Sasser, Beasley, Holland, Fontecchio off the bench is pretty strong too.

Suns land a future 1st and future 2nd plus their Center of the future in Duren, a solid PF in Tobias Harris, and a prospect of a PG in Kolek for KD all while opening up more cap space. They do a slight “retooling” around Booker while keeping the future in mind and still being competitive. Beal, Booker, Dunn, Tobias, Duren with Allen, O’Neale, Martin, Oso, and Kolek off the bench plus 3 draft picks this year.

Knicks had interest in KD and they get it done. Brunson, Bridgee, OG, KD, Robinson easily becomes the best starting 5 in the league with Hart, McBride, and Richards off the bench.
