That doesn’t really make sense. Why not try to trade him first, then buyout second? Great way to depreciate value. Anyway, is he wanting out? This is the most relevant the Knicks have been in forever and you’d think they’d want to push for playoffs. Anyway, Rivers has two more years left after this, surprisingly only at about $3M each. Seems like an easy contract to move where, at minimum, you may get a second rounder.
