that’s a lot of money
New Orleans Knicks with that cap space
Wow we really giving super high end role players 40m a year now
The knicks have officially cooked
i believe under the cba this puts the knicks in the “jesus fucking christ” tax apron
Least shocking thing ever
Nasty defense straight up
Knicks are gonna be cooked by the new CBA in a few years
thibs just came in his pants. 45 minutes of bridges hart and OG is nasty
That’s a ton of money but also he’s the only player on our team making his fair value so I can’t complain lol
42 a year, get it OG
these contracts are CRAZY
OG gets 200 million????
GET PAID OGGGGGG
KNICKS. ALL. IN.
And not in a stupid, melo/amare type of way either. This is fuckin exciting
NBA money has gotten WILD
Boston vs Knicks ECF will be crazy
That defence really will be insane
That’s a ton of money but they had to do it. If he can’t string together a healthy stretch that’s tough. Player option is insane on that deal too lol.
Man Knicks are gonna be tough
Knicks looking solid
Expected, but this means ihart out?
Jesus Christ this guy bent us over no lube. He had all the leverage in the world
Phew
He’s been underpaid his whole career he deserves this. Go win a ring OG
KNICKS FINNA GO CRAZY BRO
The Knicks are going to be so fucking good.
Knicks fans idk if this team will win a title, but man it’s gonna be a fun few years for yall
Leon driving Mitch Robinson to JFK as we speak
Holy shit they’re going for it
Knicks are stacked. People are underrating the hell out of Anunoby here.
A lot of money but happy for my fellow Nigerian brother
Masai gets all of his guys paid. First FVV, then Pascal and now OG. DAMN
Edit: Fun fact: keeping all 4 of OG, Pascal, FVV and Scottie at their new salary numbers would have costed 170MM+ a year on just those 4 players
I hope he can stay healthy. Really like OG
People on here genuinely thinking there was a chance he wasn’t staying was really funny
NY Knicks are officially back. Great to see
We are officially all fuckin in for the next 5 next years.
And all that Sixer/Morey talk was obviously bullshit, our presidents son is the guys agent
Their wing defense is gonna be insane
Saw it coming a mile away. Bridges’ trade made it imperative to re-sign OG whatever the cost. Overpays are only worth it if you actually win it all which is invaluable. Letting OG go would’ve meant they traded 5 FRP’s to save a few million/year.
no surprise there, knicks gave up too much to get him to let him walk away for free. didn’t expect him to get that much tho
This teams starting lineup is insane
Brunson
Mikal
Randle
OG
Mitch/iHart (I hope) or whoever they draft tonight plus Precious
Hart, Divo, McBride on the bench.
This team is DEEP
$43M for your 4th best player, league is crazy right now
Fuck it we ball
I feel the same way about this as I do about the Bridges trade. It’s probably an overpay when looked at strictly analytically, in a vacuum, etc. However, as a Knick fan? It’s closer to:
– woo!!!
– oh, wow. We sure did pay a lot.
– but woo!!! There’s a killer core of 20somethings locked in for the next few years.
2017 Warriors of role players
I know it’s “lol Knicks” here but I am fucking tumescent right now.
