Hayward joined the Hornets with 120 million in 4 years, and Popper has left behind the Lakers with 40 million in 3 years. At this point, two more players in the free agency market have found their next home. For the Knicks, this is not good news. Previously, they refused to implement the team option of multiple players, emptied nearly 40 million of the space, and reported that they were interested in Pope and Hayward, but now they have made a fuss.
In this context, the Knicks seem to be Wei Shao's most popular next home-lack of superstars, especially lack of guards, and enough salary space. If the Rockets can send Wei Shao to the Knicks, it is a good choice from the perspective of saving money or from the perspective of future reconstruction. Z2z
has previously reported that the Knicks are interested in Hayward and Pope. Two days ago, the Knicks announced that they would not implement Portis’s $15.7 million option and cut Gibson and Payton. They emptied enough salary space. However, they once again repeated the tragedy of last offseason. There is only space but no one wants to vote.
Hayward's goal has always been the Pacers, and in the end he was awarded a high salary by Jordan. Pope chose to stay with the Lakers, despite the previous news that the Knicks are interested in him, and from the book, the Knicks are also capable of giving a higher salary.
lost two important goals in a row, the Knicks signed Noel, but this is just a small reinforcement to comfort, not their main goal of the offseason. At present, they are very short of manpower in the backcourt and have enough salary space. From the perspective of the Rockets, with Wei Shao taking the initiative to leave the team and the team's salary space is tight, it seems that it will be sooner or later to send him away. Earlier, it was rumored that the Rockets might be swapped with the Wizards to trade Wall with Wei Shao. If this deal is reached, the Rockets can form Harden and Wall's double star in the backcourt and once again hit the championship.
But if the exchange with the Wizards fails, sending Wei Shao to the Knicks is also a good choice. However, considering that the Knicks don't have too much immediate bargaining power, if this deal does happen, it will also announce that the Rockets will completely withdraw from the championship race next year.
