With Phil Jackson out and the triangle de-emphasized, the Knicks, under general manager Steve Mills, have interest in free agent point guard Jeff Teague, league sources told ESPN. League sources say the interest in Teague is mutual. The Knicks, under Mills, had talked to the Hawks about trading for Teague two years ago.

OP:
Cap projecting to be 102 million. http://www.sbnation.com/2016/7/7/121185 ... on-lockout
Knicks projecting to come in at 76 million with Rose, Jennings, Vujacic, Holiday, Amundson, Baker, Randle, Tokoto coming off the books.
Good news is Oak, Kuz, and Willy are all locked under contract. Bad news is that jennings, holiday, and rose could be gone. I imagine Jennings will show loyalty and give us a discount. Rose? Probably not. Holiday can and should chase the biggest payday he could find.
So what's the priority? Bringing our guys back or chasing free agents? Don't start with the Durant/Curry/insert superstar here. I do think there's a small chance we finally get CP3 here, but his age isn't ideal.
Not sure who I want to chase: Kyle Lowry is too old for us to give a big deal too. Ibaka may be a nice fit next to KP. Jeff Teague?
