I think the contract extension was a mutual decision, janis said he wasn't signing anything theuntil knicks basically start winning or showing promise.
To me It's the smartest thing(so far) mills has done since he's been associated with the the franchise If Kp doesn't play this year would you max him out, knowing that there's NO DATA (straight from kp's mouth) to determine how a player that size will respond from a injury that devastating? I Also don't think 29 wins will keep kp, nothing good has come out of each of the last 55+ loss season but frustration, drama, change, THJ, Baker, lee, noah aafflo type signings. But Perry strangely demurred when asked directly if Porzingis is happy with his contract situation. What happen to just saying both sides are happy with the agreement, That's a little bit of shady answer, like a brush off, go ask him how he feels.
The reason for the delay — other than Porzingis not yet proving he’s the same player after ACL surgery — is that, by waiting, the Knicks will have $10 million more in cap space in 2019. Ahead of the deadline, the Knicks could have given him a $155 million extension. For more info https://nypost.com/2018/10/16/knicks-gms-curious-response-about-if-porzingis-is-happy-with-deal/ 29 wins will be a disaster for everybody, and no matter how good I feel about fiz, we have seen reputations get shattered within months. From larry, to Lenny, to phil, to walsh, the list is crazy, it was all a great big fuzzy feeling when they all hopped on board. If Fiz have these players looking like crap and losing 7 tp 10 in a row, watch how fast the kum-ba-ya crowd disperse But if he starts beating the odds, he'll be the king of NY. This is a really important season ES

Hes clearly talking about biting the bullet on an extension so that the Knicks will have extra cap space to sign him some high quality help. Playing for a contender is the vision they sold him on when explaining to him why they aren't going to offer him an extension yet. KP will play for the Knicks at minimal the last year of his 2nd contract. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Why you assume other teams will think about KP differently that the Knicks? "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet

With guys at KP's level you just have to pay what you have to pay. Philly signed Embiid to a max (even though I think they included some injury provision), and he played far less than KP. KP will probably come back by the end of January. Hopefully, he stays healthy, but even if he gets hurt again, we are going to sign him to the max and hope for the best. Unless something turns up in the medicals showing that he has some type of chronic injury, we just have to sign him and hope for the best. Other teams are going to give him the max, so we have no choice but to pay it. Trust the Process

Him not signing a max deal is a clear sign that him and his camp are motivated by wins not money.
