After the Knicks secured the services of Anunoby and All-Star guard Jalen Brunson to long-term deals, the same was not granted to their three-time All-Star Julius Randle.
Randle and the Knicks have until June 30 of next year to agree to an extension. The three-time All-Star forward can sign for up to $181.5 million over four years. But so far, things have been quiet on that front.
SNY’s Ian Begley reported on July 7 that “extension talks are not at the forefront for either the Knicks or Randle.”
If Randle enters the season without an extension, it could become either a push to prove himself or a distraction, as questions about his future are expected to dominate media conversations.
