New York Knicks Interested in Marcus Smart Trade, NBA Insider Reveals
Additionally, since the Knicks are a team that plays above the first luxury tax bracket, they are not allowed to take home a higher salary than they are willing to give up in any trade. It will therefore be difficult to match Smart's $20.2 salary for this season. The Knicks can reach that total by combining Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa, but given their lack of depth at all positions, they might not find that to be such an alluring offer.
Before considering further depleting the team's depth, the Knicks must hope that some of their lower-end moves—such as signing TJ Warren and Chuma Okeke to training camp contracts—pay off.
