For those of you who keep saying we can't count on the 2010 free agent class, here is your proof. Looks like the salary cap is going down with NBA revenue. These are projected numbers but the cap could drop as much as 8 million for 2010. The article actually singles out the Knicks as an example of one of the teams that will be hurt most buy this cap reduction. I am not a capologist, but this tells me it will be harder to unload unwanted players with big salaries and you might get stuck with the girl you brought to the dance. This also makes that nepotism pick we made last year (Gallinari) an even bigger mistake because we will have less money to spend in free agency to cover up mistakes in the draft. Hopefully another Florida State PG can come in and save us since we messed up and didn't grab Augustine last year. So unless some miracle happens, looks like we are only getting big name free agent next year. If I could pick one, I am taking D. Wade because he is tough and knows how to win. We haven't seen a player like that in a Knicks uniform in a long time.
