Why wouldn’t NY be an option? Marbury comes off the books ($18.6M) and Wilcox comes off the books ($6.75M) now. The Knicks also need some guards badly b/c Duhon broke down last season and Nate is still too inconsistent.
The Knicks will have enough money 2 yrs from now to go after some all-stars even if they resign David Lee & sign Ben Gordon this off-season. You know why? Because 2 yrs from now: Hughes comes off the books ($13.6M), Mobley comes off the books ($9.5M), QRich comes off the books ($9.3M), and Harrington comes off the books ($10M).
Also, if NY goes after Ben Gordon, it’s not like he’s gonna get a 5 yr contract. With the current economy, those big contracts are history for now.
