Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 1247709, member: 1674"] It's just a blah move. Yay, they get a 2nd round pick for unloading Shumpert along with JR, and now they can either acquire a player this year for around $6 million or they can let the TPE expire and go from $27 million in cap space to $33 million. Still probably won't make a difference for them in the long run. The free agents they've been linked to are all short-term guys, as is Melo at this point. The Knicks only appear to be thinking long-term in the sense that next year is a long ways away. If they were really thinking long-term, they would have traded Melo instead of re-signing him this past offseason. By the time they can put a contending supporting cast around Melo, he probably will no longer be the star that he is today. [/QUOTE]
