The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Dennis Smith Jr.. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

NYK on 2019-01-31: the listed basketball needs were event creation, shooting, rim pressure. 1 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 0 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Markieff Morris: Markieff Morris was on the public trade market, but no source linked NYK to him. His strongest observed functions did not match the listed top needs. The candidate salary route was not reliable enough to screen. Exact transaction legality remains withheld without a complete package and exception ledger.

Minimum-outgoing salary screen (Not applicable)

prior-season impact context: 0.3 per 100 (O 0.1 / D 0.2) — Prior impact context is separate from team fit, price, and transaction value.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
