With the New York Knicks declining Derrick Rose’s $15.6M option, they’re projected with the $12.4M non tax MLE if Josh Hart picks up his $13M option.
If Hart opts out and re-signs with a raise, clearest path to full MLE is to reduce more payroll, like by trading Evan Fournier. – 1:15 PM

That’s 1 of 2 option decisions for the Knicks out of the way. The other: Josh Hart has until 11:59 p.m. tonight to pick up or decline his $13M player option. Hart could earn more than $13M as a free agent, but there’s an off chance he picks up the PO & signs a 4yr/$81M ext in Aug – 12:59 PM

“They moved (a 2023 1st rnd) pick for Josh Hart. Assuming Josh Hart’s back, it’s hard to argue (against) moving a pick in the 20s for a guy who’s a really good rotation player.”
