RJ Barrett has extended his contract with the Knicks, but he’s not performing as well as we all hoped. Still, the Knicks bet on him and not on Donovan Mitchell who went to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Barrett is performing below expectations, even if many think that he can’t do more than that. In fact, many argue that RJ Barrett has already reached his peak. Barrett continues to be a point of reference in attack, but his fourth season with the Knicks is not the best.
Barrett between confirming or trading
So far they have decided to bet heavily on him for the present and the future. The thought may be to trade Barrett, but the feeling is that the Knicks rely heavily on him.
In fact, the Knicks are hoping that Barrett can get out of this period, even if a turning point doesn’t seem so close.
So for now the Knicks are going ahead with Barrett, but nothing is ruled out for the future.
