Free Agency 2011: Carmelo To Knicks

[WorldIsYours]

Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone picked up Carmelo in free agency while using the Knicks. I ask that because I am having a hard time trying to make more cap room, I released Wilson Chandler, Eddy Curry and Gallinari and I still dont have enough room. Am I doing this right because I think im not?

You should have traded them, now their contracts go on your cap.. Correct me if I'm wrong

When you release a player, aren't you still responsible for their contract? I believe so..

Yep that is correct. You are still responsible for the contract when you release a player. It's better to trade them so the team that picks up the player takes over the contract.

Im still having a hard time trying to make the cap room, I pretty much have to release everyone outside of Stoudemire. I would appreciate it if someone can figure this out.

You're not supposed to be releasing anybody. That's your problem.

NBA contracts are guaranteed. You have to deal the player in order to get them off your salary. Releasing players does not work in real life or the game. If it worked in real life, wouldn't the Knicks already have dropped Curry?

I didnt release anybody this time, I traded pretty much the whole team besides Amare. After im done with an Association game I am going to try a few other things cap wise.
