Knicks will take about $20M off their cap space to re-sign Noel and Burks.

With Noel, I think if they lost him, it would have been pretty difficult to replace. He had a market for his services and he's one of the better defensive bigs even with his bad hands.

Bobby Marks

New York is sitting at $17M in room but that includes $15M in cap holds of Derrick Rose, Reggie Bullock and the $3.3M non guaranteed contract of Luca Vildoza.

nah - if you operate as an under the cap team you don't have access to the MLE. They give you the room exception when you're under the cap - which is about half the MLE.

Burks defends, can shoot, and can operate as a secondary ball handler when needed. That's fair value for him and an easy to move deal. Not so sure about Noel.
I don't know how anyone can be upset at the Burks signing  
PwndPapi : 8/2/2021 6:23 pm : link
He was one of about two guys off the bench who capable of putting up 20 a night when the starting 5 were cold. And he did it all the time. Noel is a different story. Both contracts are moveable. I don't understand the whining.

10 million is nothing for solid role players who are going to give you 25 minutes and can start whem needed..

Plus the cap will start shooting up more and more

Put it this way: If we signed two guys, both 35-40 minute starters, to just $10M per year in today's market, more than likely that would then mean that our team is not going to be very good.

would have beaten that deal for Payne.

I'm meh on the Burks and Noel deals. Both are probably worth that amount, just not sure i want the knicks to be the team to be paying it. The main concern is the Noel deal. Just don't want to be paying a backup center that much

robbieballs2003 : 8/2/2021 6:38 pm : link
Burks is clutch. He can defend. He can handle the point. He can score and get you 20 points. He's very versatile and valuable. I have no issue with his deal. And, as others have said, he can be a trade chip if need be.
Burks guranteed is awful

How does Cameron Payne sign for 3 years $19 million at a position of need for us and we spend $10 per on Noel and Burks. Mitch is going to cost at least $15 now

I think it is more about flexibility. Q can play the 1 and 2. Burks can handle the point and play the 2 and 3. Grimes is a 2 and 3. There is still room for Fournier if they go in that direction.
