If nothing is done and the cap drops to 53 we are looking at this for 2010: Lee - about 9 Curry - 11.3 Jeffries - 6.9 Chandler - 2.1 Gallinari - 3.3 Hill - 2.7 Douglas - 1.1 ------------- Total - 36.4 The Knicks could only afford one max contract, so you would have to say bye to LeBron, Wade, and Bosh since those players would be intrigued to come play with another superstar.

Obviously, this puts a huge bonus on first round picks that will cost a first round pick in subsequent years. The league allows pre... Read Full Story
