Nope, no cap space.

Competely forgot about that. LOL

And I'm guessing with the new CBA that may be even lower.

Yup, which is why this latest talk of NY getting Melo then somehow having the room to grab CP3 or Howard after is bogus.

I don't get it... Are you trying to call Gallo a bum? If so, I totally disagree with you! If Melo was to come to NY without Gallo getting traded, of course Melo would take his spot at forward, but to say he would become a bench player and not produce or get any burn, "YOU ARE CRAZY". Gallo and Chandler have proven themselves to be good players and have good trade value, which is why I think NY is having a hard time deciding on who to let go, or both packaged with other players on the team.

If it were up to me, I would let them both go along with Curry, Randolph, and Walker for Melo along with some decent players and just look towards the summer.

Melo should just sit tight.

If he caves in and signs an extenion, he's a shortsighted fool.

The new CBA isnt going to hurt guys like him

Its going to hurt the B list all stars like Joe Johnson.

Yeah, that's the entire point of his statement.

Plus isn't there a chance that current salaries are going to be rolled back anyway? So if he signs his 3yr/$65M extension it's going to be less than that anyway once the CBA comes out.
