Unless Biyombo takes a discount or maybe a short deal where he can opt out again next year I just can't him not getting a big deal from someone in this weak market with an increased cap. What the Knicks pick yields will ultimately be key in the offseason. Hopefully that will solve the PF issue, ideally with Sabonis or Bender falling to them.

They do need 3 and D but they don't have to get it from Ross or Carroll. Bender at 9 I don't see that happening / if they take one I think they would lean more toward Chriss who is a good fit with JV.
