Knicks Not Rich Enough To Afford Butler

This proved to be a double-edged sword, in that the contracted amount is low enough to demonstrate the predicament Thomas is in, as far as “salary cap and luxury tax hell”. If the contract was for, what many deem to be the fair market value for a decent or unproven NBA, somewhere in the range of $5million for 3 years then the Knicks not matching would be more palatable.
