Michael Scotto: The expectation as of now is the Knicks will guarantee Bojan Bogdanovic’s salary for the upcoming season, and he’ll become a trade candidate in the final year of his contract as a result. That would put him at $19 million for the 2024-25 season. There are a lot of guys around the league that have a similar type of contract. The Knicks also have draft picks in the future they can dangle. Stefan Bondy: They made that trade midseason with the idea — as you mentioned Mike — that they could use his salary as a means to trade for a star because they need to match salaries somehow. I think that’s their ideal route where they guarantee that money, and then they make a trade.
