In this season, many teams have performed better than expected, such as the Knicks, Pacers, and Pacers. As a young army, Pacers have reached the eastern battle. Although they have a lot of luck, they cannot reach the current height without certain strength. The Knicks, on the other hand, overcame the 76 people of Enbid when they were full of injuries, and then fought against the Pacers in the tiebreak. If Brunson was not injured in the tiebreak, they might have crossed the opponent.
Now that the Knicks have been eliminated, they should also realize that the team now has the strength to hit a higher stage. In the off-season, the team will definitely choose to renew the core team of the team in the playoffs, and then give up some unnecessary resources to exchange for appropriate puzzles to help the team win the championship. In the offseason, Randall and Brenson both face the problem of early renewal, but I think Randall probably cannot get the contract, and he may be sent away by the trade.
In the playoffs of this season, the Knicks, without Randall, had a smoother attack. As we all know, Randall played too hard on the offensive end, and liked his teammates. His playing method of playing the ball holding core affected the team too much, and playing at position 4 with a height of 2.03 meters would also be targeted in the playoffs, Randall averaged 24 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5 assists this season.
The data alone is really good, but the data can't show his harm to the team. According to American media, Randall has the ability to sign a four-year contract of 181 million yuan with the team this summer. To be honest, his ability is definitely not worth the price. As far as the American media is concerned, many teams are closely watching the relationship between Randall and the Knicks, If the Knicks won't renew Randall's contract, they will pursue Randall.
Although Randall is unlikely to renew his contract, Brunson has a good chance to reach an agreement with the team. According to a reporter with the Knicks, Brunson is capable of reaching a five-year contract extension of 270 million yuan with the team next year, but Brunson is willing to sign a four-year contract of 156 million yuan with the team. Seeing this, some fans may not understand. Why didn't Brunson wait one more year and get an extra 120 million?
I think there are two reasons for this. One is that in this four-year contract, Brunson needs to give up next year's contract. He signed a four-year contract with the Knicks of 104 million yuan, which is decreasing year by year. He gave up the contract of 24.96 million yuan next season and won the top salary in advance, which is also a kind of income increase for him, The second is Brenson's reasonable protection for himself.
After all, Sibodu's employees have seen that his various football stars have also made the Knicks full of injuries this season. There are three players who have been reimbursed in the season alone. Brunson has been playing with injuries since the playoffs, and he really can't afford to compete with the Pacers in the seventh round, so he chose to leave early. Under Sibodu, Brunson may be seriously injured next season, which may also have to be considered by Brunson, so it is safe to get a big contract in advance.
In addition, the Knicks may also renew the contract of Anoubi. According to the reporter of the New York Times, the Knicks do not want to let Anoubi leave as a free player during the off-season, because they are very satisfied with the performance of Anoubi in this season. It is believed that the Knicks will renew Anoubi with a contract of more than 100 million yuan. The average annual salary of this contract is between 30 million and 40 million yuan, Their final offer may depend on the offer in the market.
Anunuobi can average 15.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block in the playoffs. You may think that he is not worth so much just looking at the data, but in fact, Anunuobi's excellent single defense and defense changing ability has made the Knicks get a qualitative improvement, because the Knicks only rose because of him. After Anunuobi joined the Knicks, the team won 20 and lost 3 in the regular season, 6 wins and 3 losses in the playoffs are very obvious for the improvement of the team.
In addition to retaining the current core lineup, the Knicks also have the idea of attracting reinforcements. According to the report of Bill Simmons, the Knicks are very eager to get Bridges, and they may be willing to pay high prices for Bridges. The Knicks would like him to reunite with his teammates at Villanova University, Brenson, Hart and Divenzenzo, At the same time, Bridges' full attendance in the past six years also attracted the Knicks, who believed that he became a player often used by Sibodu.
To be honest, it's not cheap to get Bridges through trade, but the Knicks' way of team building is very wise. This season, everyone has seen Villanova's three-star team formation. It seems that they have found their blood in college, and everyone has given everything to win. If they can introduce Bridges, they can not only let this blood spirit continue, They can also keep these people for a long time. After all, they have a good relationship.
