WOJ - OG Re-signs with Knicks

[R-DAWG]

5 years - $212.50MM

2nd apron with no picks for 5 years

LFG!

[babyjax13]

What a horrid contract. At least the Knicks will be fun to watch.

[CallMeKahn]

Aight.

[Pipp33]

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

[Fitz303]

And people thought Jerami Grant's contract was going to be bad

[jbk1234]

He got a trade kicker and P.O. as well.

[Devilanche]

So long as he can play 65 games a season.

[Fo-Real]

Are you telling me that OG Anunoby is gonna make 42 MILLION dollars a year?!?!

[Neeva]

So long as he can play 65 games a season.

Only has done that once in the last 4 seasons.

[Fo-Real]

Double

My guess is that the next move for the Knicks will be offloading Mitch Robinson's contract so they can re-sign Hartenstein as well (probably attaching picks to do so). They'll layer that deal into the Bridges deal as a 3-teamer, which means that they'd be sending out more money (Bogi+Robinson) than they're taking back (just Bridges). So instead of being hard capped at the 1st apron, they'd be hard capped at the 2nd apron.

That means they can re-sign Achiuwa who was pretty solid for them as well.

Brunson / McBride
Bridges / DDV
OG / Hart
Randle
Hartenstein / Achiuwa

That's my prediction for the rest of their offseason, but we'll see.

[HartfordWhalers]

Would have been tragic to trade all that for Bridges just to let an equal player walk for free.

[WhatsaTDot]

Called this months ago. Seems expensive now. Will definitely look expensive later.

So essentially 5 first rd picks plus Mitchell Robinson and Quentin Grimes (how NY got Bogdonovic) plus whatever draft capital they have to include with Mitch because they backed themselves into a corner with Bridges/hard cap.

It's like paying for a Ferrari and getting a & series BMW

fo-real.

[giberish]

Yeah, pretty much had to happen.

Now it's just getting the contract details working with the new CEA rules.

[esvl]

Randle should be on the move, iHart re-signed

I think they have a legitimate chance to get to and win the Finals. I still have them behind BOS in the East and a few teams out West but it's a legitimate shot.

They still have a good amount of draft capital so it's not like they totally sold out. Sure they could have waited it out for maybe some better players, but I think this is a group worth going for it with.

I like all of the moves they've made individually since the deadline...but in the aggregate for some reason it feels underwhelming. Maybe I'm underestimating Randle and/or Bridges' ability to be a second option on offense, but it seems like this team doesn't have enough firepower and has no assets to get more.

This is a great way to put it.

It's one thing to pay Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum a combined $100MM per year. It's another to pay Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby $85MM per year - while giving up all your picks for the right to do so.
