Built Ford Tough Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Most likely amnesty cut: Renaldo Balkman How likely to use amnesty this season? Slam dunk Other amnesty candidates: Ronny Turiaf Analysis: Looking at the Knicks' post-Donnie Walsh roster -- after he shed contract after contract without the benefit of amnesty -- it's downright lean. Balkman doesn't make much money, but no one whom the Knicks would seriously consider waiving really does. They like Turiaf's size and toughness far too much to let him go, so the expendable Balkman appears to be the lone Knick in danger, but only because every little bit of salary-cap space helps for the Knicks' plans to make another summer splash in 2012. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7147880/nba-most-likely-amnesty-candidates Pretty much as everybody would expect. The Knicks will cut any non important player that will result in them having the best chance of landing Chris Paul, Dwight Howard or Deron Williams in an effort to create their own big three. Even though Balkman doesn't make much I don't see him sticking around and eating up any of the valuable cap space needed to sign a marquee free agent.

NomarFachix Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah, should be Balkman. His contract isn't bad, but he's quite worthless on our roster. I wouldn't be against cutting Turiaf either, if we can line something up with a starting center in his stead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
