Free Agency

Looking beyond this season, free agency will be a vital step in keeping the roster in a positive direction. Last summer the big move was signing Tim Hardaway Jr., a former Knick who finally found his way with the Atlanta Hawks after struggling for a few years.

In order to prepare for free agency, Scott Perry needs to take care of Joakim Noah. It’s hard to accept, but his days of prominence are over. Noah’s salary is roughly $17 million, and since his signing, he hasn’t had much of an impact on the team. The fact that Noah is costing New York a ridiculous amount of cap space should be enough to at least gauge interest around the league.

If no trades are reached, a buyout would be necessary if it meant saving $17 million in cap space.
