The Knicks currently face a difficult financial situation, with total allocations of $205.3 million, resulting in a cap space deficit of -$64.3 million. However, adjustments and transactions during the offseason could free up resources, potentially allowing the Knicks to offer Anunoby a max deal of around $245 million over five years.
Maintaining a balanced roster that supports stars like Jalen Brunson and potentially moving away from other high-cost players like Julius Randle could be part of their strategy. With their financial strength and draft resources, the Knicks are well positioned to make significant moves to strengthen their team for the next few seasons.
