$120M. Bit of an overpay.
Mitchell to the Knicks unlikely now too. Guess they said the hell with Danny Ainge’s demands.

Solid deal. Will be a bargain when the new tv deal kicks in.

He's a good young player that still has loads of potential, so I see no issue here. I know people will cry overpay, but Jaylen Brown signed a similar contract years ago (for less money though) and look where he is now. Remember that people clowned the **** out of that deal. I don't know much about RJ's work ethic, but hopefully he keeps improving and lives up to that contract so it becomes a bargain for the Knicks down the line.
The real question, like Woj said, is if this takes the Knicks out of the Mitchell sweepstakes. If they can still pull it off, good for them.

How is that an overpay? You’re getting him in prime years. His body is one in a million in terms of NBA wings.

He gets the full $120 million if he fulfills incentives of All Star teams, All NBA or Defensive teams. So this is a pretty good deal on both ends.
Let’s go RJ! WE MOVE!

What? You mean that's not an intimidating "big 3?"
I'm not sure what direction the Knicks are heading, but hopefully they can make the playoffs with this squad...?

even the most stauch rj critic would tell you worth ethic might be the one part of his game that cannot be questioned

Honestly, I’d take RJ over Mitchell so I wouldn’t worry about it too much if I was a Knicks fan.
