That fact makes it not so absurd for James to sign for the $5 million midlevel exception that the capped-out Knicks could offer, although it would seem unlikely.

Understatement of the farking century.
The only way he goes to NY is when they have cap space to sign him to close to the MAX. I doubt the clause in the Nike contract could make up the difference between an MLE contract and a MAX contract (which is in the tens of millions).
Also, I heard the clause was for
big markets, not just the Knicks. And that would include Chicago and the Lakers.
