Tue Jun 21 201616:41Afflalo, Williams opt out giving Knicks $30M in cap space
The New York Knicks should be well under the salary cap when it comes time to start spending money in free agency on July 1.On Tuesday, forwards Arron Afflalo and Derrick Williams said they would opt out of their contracts and test free agency. That should give the Knicks more than $30 million in cap space, according to reports.Williams, 25, came off the bench in 71 games and started nine for the Knicks this past season. He averaged 9.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.9 minutes per game this season.Williams was a top prospect coming out of Arizona in 2011.

G Arron Afflalo scored a season-high 38 points and made 12 straight shots as the Knicks barely trailed en route to a 111-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. "All players do it at times," Afflalo said. "I saw it was broken, so maybe that helped. It just made me not think about what I was doing individually and just continued to focus and make sure we got out of here with a win."Afflalo had his best game as a Knick and did so after scoring 17 on 8-of-28 shooting in his previous three games. He made 14 of 17 shots, including all seven of his 3-point attempts.The performance was five shy of Affalo's career high for points set Dec. 3, 2013. Affalo also tied a career-high in field goals and came within one of his career best for 3-pointers set against Milwaukee Nov. 13, 2013.Affalo missed an 18-foot jumper with 10:38 left in the first quarter. He did not miss again until about 6 1/2 minutes left in the fourth quarter when his short jumper was blocked by Atlanta forward Kent Bazemore."I didn't know that, 12 in a row," Affalo said. "You just kind of take one shot at a time. When you kind of get in that energy or that flow, you kind of forget about the last shot. You just know you're in a good rhythm and everything you shoot you're probably going to make it. So that's pretty cool, 12 in a row."
