The New York Knicks have stated quite consistently that clearing cap space for 2019 is a task the front office is looking to accomplish. It isn’t necessarily the foundation for the rebuild, but 2019 will be one of the most star-studded periods of free agency in recent memory.
Unfortunately, the Knicks will have to do a great deal maneuvering in order to create the necessary cap space to make a run at the biggest free agents on the market.
The list of stars who are eligible for free agency in 2019 includes Jimmy Butler, DeMarcus Cousins, Kevin Durant, Marc Gasol, Al Horford, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, Kevin Love, Klay Thompson, and Kemba Walker.
