PP, KG, RA then Rondo. I like Rondo but there are probably 12 guys I would think about dealing him for that make 10-11 mil or less. Uh Rondo isn’t Boston’s franchise player that is the whole point.

The Cs are paying it, and I'm sure the Knicks could afford it if it meant they could put a good team together. Why are you so confident the Knicks wouldn’t pay luxury tax?

Often other teams don't even bother to make an offer if they think there's a good possibility that it will be matched because they will have put a hold on the offered amount of cap money for up to a week when other UFA are being snatched up. That results in the home team then having to then come up with a proposed contract sufficient to dissuade the RFA from taking the qualifying offer and becoming a UFA the following season. If it's a reasonable proposal the RFA will take it and avoid the risk of having a subpar season or the catastrophe of a serious injury heading into unrestricted free agency the following season. In the end, the home team gets a discount off the player's market value if he had instead been an UFA. The team with the rights to a RFA rarely loses IF they want to keep him.
