How much is the room exception?

they have to be less irrelevant than Kornet.

About 4.5MM

DAJ has made a lot of coin. He may take that to play on a championship level team.

per the linked article. Just getting hopeful over here

But they could also use the mid-level exception (almost $9 million per season) to sign Jordan this summer, so it’s certainly possible

Bondy has that wrong.

use the MLE if you were under the cap at any point. It's a recent rule change.

add Bondy to the list of moron writers in this town. We've known for a while that he's a troll... but now we also know he doesn't understand basic cap stuff.

not to trust the Knicks on this. But assuming they have some behind the scenes master plan on this which there is some smoke on, it wouldn't be ridiculous to assume they are keeping Jordan around to sell him on living in New York and playing for the Knicks in order to have him take less money.

They bought out the other players that could help them win games and aren't part of their future. Think he is obviously a great guy for Robinson to try to defend / box out in practice too. But that might be a component.

Warriors/Kings game of the season last night, I found myself wondering: why wouldn't Durant choose a team like the Kings?

I'm not saying the Kings specifically -- I don't even know their cap room. But if he's to leave the Warriors, I wonder if he'd be tempted to join a team with some current legitimate excitement and potential, as opposed to a team that has to make a lot of other shrewd moves (uncharacteristically shrewd, you could say) to compete.

has to be wrapped up in what he's doing in VC. Seems to be a major part of why he picked Golden State.

Probably met a lot of people that help him with deal flow there and would expand that further in New York. Hell if he brought a championship to New York he could probably find his way into deals in which he provided no value.
