WOJ - OG Re-signs with Knicks

[cgf]

12.5M more than I had assumed. Which I guess isn't bad over 5 years. Good thing the FO has done a good job giving themselves room for some overpayments because they certainly made a few this week.

Very good looking lineup...question will be their depth and big men, as it will be nearly impossible to keep Hartenstein.

I think we still have enough room under the 2nd apron to offer Hartenstein the ~14M starting contract we could've offered him with his early-birds anyway*. So it's still up to whether iHart wants to stay in NYC with his bromantic-partner (Robinson) or if he wants to chase the most money he can get.

If he chooses the money then we'd still have Robinson, Sims, and enough room to bring Achiuwa back as a smallball 5, which wouldn't be the end of the world. Especially if Mitch continues his '2 seasons of pretty good health, 1 season where he barely plays' pattern...66, 61, 31, 72, 59, 31 GP...for another cycle

We're not as stupidly deep as OKC...and have nobody that could replace Randle or Brunson if they get hurt...but McBride / DiVincenzo / Hart should be one of the better perimeter bench trios whenever we're healthy next season.

*spotrac says we have ~17M under the 2nd apron (including a 1M incomplete roster charge I think?) with 11 guys signed.
