You make an interesting point. NY doesn't have to get $25mm under the cap to offer a $100mm deal. So, it doesn't have to be Noel or Burks.
I've got NY at about $105.66mm with the cap hold for Robinson which is $16.34mm worth of room. Add Reddish as the outgoing and the room is $22.29mm and a four year deal is $95.8mm. If you add McBride, room bumps to $23.85mm and the four year deal is $102.58mm (NY may have to add a minimum salary back which would end up with the Brunson deal being closer to $99mm).
So, it could just as easily be Reddish/McBride as Burks or Noel. To FG's point, does Dallas say no to that (even without a pick?). McBride is a young and inexpensive PG with some defensive promise. Having him would take some pressure off of paying Dragic the TP-MLE. Reddish has the body to be that "wing" that has been mentioned as a team priority. Who knows if he's any good, but he is that bump up in size from the Bullock/Green/Frank sized wings who can throw a body on a larger wing.
I'm not saying that is ideal by any means. Just pointing out that there is a path to pretty close to $100mm that is Reddish based rather than Noel or Burks based.
