Breaking down OG Anunoby potentially returning to the Knicks this offseason | The Putback | SNY

with an anobi I think you look at Philadelphia as the biggest competition for New York because Philadelphia has significant cap space right I think Priority One for them is Paul George with the Clippers is George gonna extend with the Clippers resign with the Clippers if not I think Philadelphia has a big opportunity there to go in and get Paul George but if George is off the table I think they turn their attention to a player like anobi where you could come in if you’re Philly you could make a really aggressive offer you could force the Knicks to go maybe a little bit beyond where they are comfortable going salary-wise for an and Obi uh and if nothing else you impact their cap sheet moving forward so that’s the way I’m looking at the nnobi free agency maybe Orlando maybe OKC comes in and then expresses some interest but I I just think at the end of the day it’s going to be the Nicks it’s just a matter of what the number is what the length of the deal is what the protections on the contract is you talk to people around the league everybody kind of throws out that $35 million a year number as something that’s reasonable logical for anobi as a starting point so we’ll see exactly where this thing goes a few days from now but CP an anobi your thoughts on the contract you would like to see him resign to and how his offseason may go yeah well as you mentioned on on the Hoops hype podcast with with you and Michael scado and Steph Bondi that 35 million that’s about the number that I’d expect ogan and Obi to sign for and he could as you said make the Knicks sweat it out a little bit and maybe take a meeting with Philadelphia or the OKC Thunder we know those teams will have cap space and does that drive the price up for the Knicks just a bit but if I’m Leon Rose this is a no-brainer you traded RJ Barrett and Emanuel quickly two of your young core for OG anobi who has become a critical piece for the Nick’s chances in in being that premier team as we open the show with and so uh there’s no number that’s too high for me when it comes to oan and Obi injury risk be damned he has to be the Nick uniform come next Fall for them to even have a chance at uh being the kings of the East yeah CP I feel like uh for what you gave up to get ogan anobi uh anything less than retaining him will be seen as a failure for in the eyes of many Knicks fans but in addition to that whatever money you thought he was going to be able to be worth uh at the end of the regular season at the end of the playoffs last night showed you he’s probably going to be worth more than that because you’re going to need to go through Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum to even have a shot at being the kings of the East and we’ve seen there’s enough data out there to justify that sort of bag that OG’s gonna want to demand uh this offseason Jeremy Grant a great example you look at the Minnesota Timberwolves Jen McDaniels is a great example having two-way guys that are wings that can guard uh the stars of The League including Brown and Tatum are going to be at a premium this year look at the Philadelphia 76ers they got a bird view of just how good OG and anobi is and it wouldn’t shock me if they help drive up the price to to sign OG not just because he’s a good player but you get to take him away from that Nick team that eliminated you from the playoffs this year so I mean I expect a lot of gamesmanship this off season and uh I guess it’s all going to benefit OG at the end because I think even with the injury risk it’s not going to stop uh the bag that he wants to get this off season yeah I’m with you guys not a price too high for Anon Obi for the you got to bring them back
