What Immanuel Quickley is doing is extremely rare (special).

And he's already got absolute elite Defense too

He's 100% going to get paid and become paid big time and I'm just thankful it's he'll become paid (long-term) as a Knick because there's a 0.00% chance Leon Rose doesn't keep him long term for his Coach Thibs.

He's also going to replace Quentin Grimes as our Starting 2G come next year too (imo) but nonetheless he's already our closer (more important).

Wait, so now we have Kobe AND Curry? Look out world!

Quickley is the perfect 6th man, but he may eventually want more, and he;s outplaying Grimes this year. Regardless of who starts, its going to be really hard for the 5 finishing each close game to not be Brunson, IQ, Hart, Randle and Mitch. Barrett and grimes arent exactly likely to finish any games going forward. Thibs loves both but he loves IQ and Hart more than Grimes and RJ.

Without question. Look @ James Harden in OKC used to come off the bench behind Westbrook and Durant as their 6th man and now an absolute NBA Superstar from the Guard positions.

Same will happen for Immanuel Quickley he's already our 6th man + Closer and Coach Thibs is developing IQ the way he wants to before IQ creates himself into NBA STARDOM (as Thibs starter @ SG + combo PG with A++ Defense too).

This

Quickly is should be considered a valuable piece to Knicks future.

While we add it…Sign Obi as well. Not as valuable but unless someone better comes along, bring him back as well

Agreed. Quickley is the 3rd most valuable on the team right now. As for Obi, I’m not completely opposed to resigning him but he just hasn’t been good this year for whatever reason. Big step back despite the improving in shooting.

Depending on Hart resigning, whether the Knicks keep the Dallas draft pick (and get the Washington draft pick), the kNicks could be flirting with luxury tax line next year.

That's of course depending on any major trade, but I wouldn't necessarily be shocked by a Toppin trade for a protected future 1st, or another Detroit salary dump trade for Fournier and a protected lst.

Knicks might not have the luxury (pun coincidence) to carry Toppin and Fournier to the trade deadline if they resign hart and keep a 1st rounder or two.

He will be likely traded this summer for a pick

There’s no need to until next year and even after that he’s RFA and we can match any offer

You don’t typically do that with your best players. You give them the extension to show commitment. Knicks need to continue to build the culture and not piss guys off.

The Knicks should throw out an offer, but I'd be surprised if IQ didn't wait until FA. The fact that he had trade interest from teams this season shows he has a market. Plus with the projected TV deal, even if there's smoothening, there's going to be a lot of money throw out there.

The TV deal does add an unusual factor, but typically players of this caliber do get extensions in the summer/ fall when eligible.

Feels like to me the guys that wait until their last year are guys in the slot of really not performing up to expectations.

Yes this is spot on. You get a guy like cam Johnson once in awhile who has to wait it out, but most players who play well, especially for winning teams, agree to an extension.
