im no NBA cap guru, but to trade boozer the bulls would have to take on a lot of bad contracts in return thus thwarting the melo pursuit... right?

it looks like there is some overlap between the start of free-agency and the amnesty deadline... so technically couldnt the bulls get a sign and trade done with the knicks and then amenesty boozer?

melo is a pipe dream but its the only realistic shot at having a team that is feasibly a title contender...


Yea I can't see them getting anything for Boozer except bad contracts (thus negating their flexibility) and I'd be shocked if Phil would take him back in a sign and trade. Jerry will have to eat the 16.8M.

As for Melo? A long shot at best and not sure he'd be worth the cost either.

The Knicks might do it so Melo doesn't walk for nothing. New York wants as much money coming off the books in 2015 as they can get. Boozer would only help that issue.

It's all about expiring contracts.

The Knicks are going to tank big time next year. They've got Amare and Chandler coming off the books next season, and if they acquire Boozer also, that will come to around $40 million in money to spend in free agency in 2015.

But if they let Melo walk for nothing, don't they get all that cap space immediately? Why waste it on Boozer??

The Knicks would need the Bulls to take back some contracts and they would need some draft picks. Without giving up Taj I really can't see how it is possible.
