Zach Lowe of Sports Illustrated discussed a loophole for Chris Paul to get to the Knicks without taking a huge financial hit. He would get traded to the Knicks with a behind the scenes agreement to re-sign with them once his current contract has expired. Since he would be traded along with his Bird rights, he would be allowed to sign a five-year, $100 million extension while the Knicks stay under the cap. The risk for the Knicks is that he double-crosses them and signs elsewhere.
