Much of that salary came last year when they got off to a poor start under Larry Brown and mgt panicked and started acquiring high priced veterans in hopes of winning. They make so much in TV revenue being in the NY market that they can usually go over the cap and pay the luxury tax without it affecting them. However, they are now realizing that they are going to lose money if they don't take some fiscal responsibility with their team budget. They've trimmed some fat, but not many teams are going to want to trade for overpriced veterans. They'll win a few more this year than last, but they are still a bad team.
