That’s where the $300,000 comes in. That is how much space the Knicks will have below the unbreakable barrier known as the “second apron” once they fill out their roster at the end of the preseason, league sources told ESPN (because they aggregated salaries in the trades to acquire Towns and Mikal Bridges, they are not allowed to exceed the second apron at any point this season). This is roughly 0.2% of their $189 million payroll this season, by NBA contract standards a rounding figure. But what a dance to get there. -via ESPN / October 11, 2024
