The rumor isn't new, but this is
"Negotiations between NBA owners and players reached a critical juncture Tuesday when commissioner David Stern went public with the league’s offer to relax its stance on a hard salary cap and guarantee the players $2 billion a year in compensation as part of a 10-year collective bargaining proposal."
"The essence of the system described by Stern was an NHL-style cap system with a targeted salary of $62 million per team and a to-be-negotiated range from a minimum to an amount above $62 million that teams could spend up to through various exceptions currently in place – such as the Larry Bird exception and mid-level exception."
After the draft the Knicks will have rough 45 million committed to 2012, with only 5 players though (Amar'e, Melo, Landry Fields, Toney Douglas and the 17th pick). That leaves around 17 million to offer Chris Paul, even if the cap doesn't raise again in 2012! MarionBarberthe4th better hope we wouldn't rather have Derron
