[Katz] In addition … The Knicks will also add Mamadi Diakite to the Mikal Bridges trade, league sources said. Knicks have to add salary to the deal in order to avoid being capped at the first apron.

    what does this all mean staying under first apron? Can we spend more on MLE?

    Purpose of the deal is to keep out of the first apron hard cap here because Milton is over the minimum. Knicks have to send more money than they take back and can only use 1 minimum contract, so Milton gets signed over the minimum so he can be added.

    Nets send:

    Bridges: 23,300,000
    Diop: 2,654,644

    Knicks Send:
    Bogi: 19,032,850
    Diakite: 2,273,252
    Milton (he’ll make around 4-5 million bucks for the year and cover the salary gap here. Plus if he llays well, nets can pick up future years.)
    draft picks
