They signed 3 dudes to be waivable trade bait at the end of the season to make the numbers work. Add dunny and two first round picks (one this yr and one next or miriotic) and I believe Phil bites.

NY gets a 13-14 mil trade exception, maybe an extra mil in waivable contracts, 2 picks and an asset that'll be off the books next summer.

We just have to convince Melo to take 19 for 5 yrs so that we might still be able to sign mirotic (if he's not included in the deal), resign DJ and whatever Draft pick we keep.
