The difference is that Chicago has Derrick Rose, Joquain Noah, John Salmons, Deng, and Gibson (and hinrich if they cant move him). That is a pretty good bunch of players especially compared to the Knicks returning guys. Jefferies, the italian, Hill, Curry, wilson Chandler and Toney Douglas is not an impressive bunch. Outside of the Italian there is no bonifide NBA starters in that group.

They don't need to opt out...thats the point. New York could still take both salaries. And just think what they could do the following year when 17 million more goes away.

Miami has a bunch of money. They have no bad contracts and Riley is running the show. They could pick up a bunch of role players to go with beasley, wade and bosh.

In chicago, you named a bunch of players that need the ball. You would have serious chemistry issues. Im not buying chicago.
