Knicks add $15.6 million in salary space via Derrick Rose option

This off-season, the New York Knicks are set with the significant task of freeing up substantial salary space to allow for additional acquisitions. The team needs upgrades, be it a big star to pair with Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle or key depth pieces.

Expected Trades and Savings

The Knicks are projected to trade Evan Fournier, which would save them $18.8 million on his salary. This move would facilitate the extension of Josh Hart’s contract and allocate funds toward acquiring a player like Donte DiVincenzo, another Villanova standout who spent his last season with the Golden State Warriors.
