There is no question the New York Knicks will be aggressive this free agency, but how will they deal with some of their own players who are hitting the market and looking for new contracts? Depending on how President Leon Rose and the front office view some of their players from this most recent season, it will impact their salary space in a big way.
The players that are set to walk in for agency if not retained are Reggie Bullock, Taj Gibson, Nerlens Noel, Elfrid Payton, and Derrick Rose. If New York allows all five to leave, they will have $50+ million to work with, but it would be in their best interest to keep some of the more influential free agents.
