WOJ: Julius Randle signed 4 years, $117 million extension

[SARGO127]

Randle making less money than Derozen the next 3 years …

Shoutout to Julius man. Boo’d his first year here and changed his game. I woulda said I want ALL the money. And maybe even somewhere else. Dude clearly wants to win HERE. He’s a better man than most.

This is amazing. Best news of the year for the Knicks. U better believe this man is gona still be out to prove he's one of the best players in the league and continue to silence any knicks doubters.

Well, I’ve been b*itching for years about lack of stability/continuity. And here we go with an anchor for the next 5 years. I’m impressed that Leon/Wes aren’t playing the Starphking waiting game and I honestly dgaf that we probably won’t win a ‘chip during Randle’s contract. They’re attempting to build an actual team and doing the right thing by trusting in Randle’s breakout season.

Such a great redemption story for Julius and fantastic message to the rest of the league that we take care of ours and once you’re here you won’t want to leave.

True CAPTAIN.

Love this guy.

This was definitely a good deal when you compare it to other dudes, i.e., John Collins.

Damn, let’s go Julius.

Scenario 1: Sign four-year max extension in summer 2021
Randle could sign a contract extension this offseason by tacking on four more years (not five, because he’s under contract next year) and have a starting salary of $26,028,000 in 2022, while earning $116,605,440 over the four years of that deal.

Scenario 2: Sign five-year max in summer 2022
If Randle waits until the 2022 offseason to sign a deal, he’s eligible to sign a five-year, 30% max deal starting at $34,735,800. A five-year max would give Randle a total of $201,467,640 and he would enter free agency at 32 before turning 33 in the following season.


We got the much-preferred scenario - the other option has us paying him $46Million in the last year!

Thank you Randle for getting paid while showing consideration for the team.

this doesn't impact Zions arrival does it?

[knickstape4ever]

Nice of him to take the discount rather than wait until next offseason

Lmao

This was a very good thing. Very pleased.

Wanted not parts of giving randle a contract after next year in the 5 year $200 range which he is eligible for. This extension shows he wants to be here and while we do assume some risk that last year wasn't a total fluke. He will be very reasonable priced for the rest of the NBA.

Well done Knicks and well done randle

Wow. How Randle started his Knicks career, to this? He’s becoming a Knicks legend right before our eyes.

[BrownBearKing]

Nerlens Noel probably told him to take the money now.

Well done Knicks and well done randle

I have no doubt this guy ia gona be an all star every year of his career and prolly a handful more All Pro's. His game doesn't translate to be a fluke. Thibs unlocked his talent. The bully was always there. Just needed to play smarter and needed that conditioning.

Straight DOG. Can't wait for him to get another shot at the playoffs to silence the critics.

[putiger78]

Excellent news. If we waited a year, pricetag could have gone way up and other teams in mix. If there is another star that wants to come herethey know what they are getting. Very pleased with last two days.

[Trademarkk]

Nice. It’s been a good 2 days for the Knicks.

[E-Balla]

A 2 mil a year discount.
