What else can you say about this guy. He continues to surprise me. Love this guy.

NO DIDDY

Not to harp on the little guy thing, but its not like Becky Harmon invented this either.
JB plays less then 65 games next season that Super max is not there. JB blows out his knee It could be even less than what might be on the table.
I love the guy and not trying to knock him down. Yes I do believe at the end of the day he, Rick, Leon, and Sam all understand knicks put him in a position to succeed and there is a reasonable path for all to win. He is a fantastic worker and no doubt deserving of his 5 place MVP. That he lasted this long was truly inspirational and deserving of all the accolades he has gotten and then some!
He'd have to wait a year to get the super max, and have to nearly repeat much of this season. I'm not convinced he can repeat this kind of season and doing it just for the money is not sustainable. Longer term the money becomes an albatross as he ages and team cannot keep talent around him?
If this extension is accurate it also enables the team to plan. If OG and Randle want more knicks can do right by them and still receive value in return.

JB already out of the super max eligibility because he signed as a free agent. Only can happen with team that drafted you or if you were traded from that team (other reasons too).

So that $270mm figure something he was truly eligible for? Was that 4 or 5 year figure? We talking 67mm 4 years, or 54mm avg over 5. Thats serious coin!!!!
If knicks don't pay that, is there a market for it?

I think the $270M is if he played all through next season and then opted out of his player year for 2025-26 and signed a 5 year max deal at that juncture.
