Do the Knicks have cap space for CP next year?

No. They are above the $74 million threshold that makes Sign and Trades illegal. In theory they could do a straight dump of Felton or Novak to get under that line (either Kidd or Camby would work too but no one with cap space would take them for free). But even then they'd still have to trade to get him and I can't see Sterling wanting any big salary Knick other than Melo. Maybe they could find someone to give assets the Clippers would want in return for Chandler, but would CP3 still want to go to the Knicks if Melo or Chandler were gone? He's already in LA so NY as a market has no appeal to him, if he left it'd be to win, not just switch to a different playoff alsoran in a different glamor market. I think there is no chance he becomes a Knick.
