In this season, many teams have played beyond expectations, such as the Knicks, the Pacers, the Pacers as a youth army into the Eastern Conference finals, although the luck component is very large, but they do not have a certain strength can not reach the current height. The Knicks, on the other hand, crossed Embiid's 76ers with injuries and then tied seven with the Pacers, and if it weren't for Brunson's injury, they might have overtaken their opponents.

Now that the Knicks have been eliminated, they should also realize that the team now has the strength to hit the higher stage, and the team will definitely choose to renew the core of the team in the playoffs in the offseason, and then give up some dispensable resources in exchange for the right puzzle pieces to help the team compete for the championship. Both Randle and Brunson are facing early contract extensions in the offseason, but I think there's a good chance that Randle won't get a contract and he could be traded away.

In this season's playoffs, the Knicks are more fluent in the absence of Randle, and everyone knows that Randle is a player, he plays too sticky on the offensive end, and likes to dump teammates, his playing style of playing with the ball core affects the team too much, and the 2.03-meter height playing the No. 4 position will also be targeted in the playoffs, Randle averages 24 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season.

According to the American media, Randle has the ability to sign a 4-year 181 million contract with the team this summer, to be honest, his ability is definitely not worth the price, and now the news from the American media is that many teams are paying close attention to the relationship between Randle and the Knicks, and if the Knicks will not renew Randle's contract, they will pursue Randle.

Although Randle's contract extension is unlikely, Brunson has a good chance to reach a contract extension with the team, according to the Knicks reporter, Brunson has the ability to reach a five-year 270 million contract extension with the team next year, but Brunson is willing to sign a four-year 156 million contract with the team. Seeing this, some fans will not understand, why did Brunson wait another year and get an extra salary of 120 million?

I think there are two reasons for this, one is that in this 4-year contract, Brunson needs to give up next year's contract, he previously signed a 4-year 104 million contract with the Knicks, and it is decreasing year by year, he gave up the 24.96 million contract next season and won the maximum salary in advance, which is also an income boost for him, and the second is Brunson's reasonable protection for himself.

After all, everyone has seen Thibodeau's employment, and his various dead stars have also made this season's Knicks full of injuries, and there are 3 players who have been reimbursed for the season alone, Brunson has been playing with injuries since the playoffs, and when it came to the tie-break with the Pacers, he really couldn't bear it, so he chose to leave early. Under Thibodeau, Brunson will be seriously injured next season, and this possibility Brunson has to consider, so getting a big contract early is a safe way.

In addition, the Knicks may also renew Anunoby's contract, according to the New York Times, the Knicks do not want Anunoby to leave as a free agent in the offseason, because they are very satisfied with Anunoby's performance this season, and the outside world believes that the Knicks will renew Anunoby with a contract of more than 100 million, the average annual salary of this contract is between 30 million and 40 million, and their final offer may depend on the offer in the market.

Anunoby averaged 15.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block per game in the playoffs.

In addition to keeping the current core lineup, the Knicks also have the idea of bringing in reinforcements, according to Bill Simmons of the Athletic, the Knicks are very keen to get Bridges, they may be willing to pay a high price for Bridges, the Knicks are keen to reunite him with Villanova University teammates Brunson, Hart and DiVincenzo, and Bridges' full attendance over the past six years has also attracted the Knicks, and the Knicks believe he has become a player that Thibodeau has used regularly.

To be honest, it's not cheap to trade to get Bridges, but the Knicks' way of building a team is very wise, and everyone has seen it this season Villanova three-star team, they seem to have found the blood of college, everyone gives everything to win, if Bridges can be introduced, they can not only keep this blood spirit alive, but also be able to keep these people for a long time, after all, they have a good relationship.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the Knicks? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
