Alex goes solo to break down the latest Knicks news and notes from Ian Begley, Stefan Bondy, and Jake Fischer. Is $20 million too much or just right for Immanuel Quickley on his rookie extension? The Knicks are apparently valuing Evan Fournier’s expiring contract highly, but what can they really get back for him? Are the Knicks in the market for a backup big?
Then to end the show, Alex goes into some notes from the Knicks’ 82-80 win over the Magic in Summer League. Spoiler: Not too impressed with Trevor Keels or Isaiah Roby, but Jaylen Martin looks good!

Quick at 20 mill will be a desirable trade piece for a team that sees him as a starter
Quick is worth the 17-20 million.
Roby just got approval to play from medical staff from a severe ankle sprain. Give him time to get in shape. Wait for NBA preseason to judge.
Yes, IQ is worth at least $20 million per year. He is in a similar position JB was last year. He was a back up but stepped up big for the Mavs and everyone knew he should be a starter but yet, no one knew if he was quite an all-star caliber starter. Thus he got a tiny bit above $20 million, which is $7-10 million below what would an all-star get in his position. Of course, he proved to be much better than expected. IQ is in a similar situation with a similar upside, even though they are different types of players. I expect IQ getting $20 million to $22 million per year mutli-year deal.
I agree with ALex Wolfe. Fournier has very limited value. He barely played and an $18 million guy gotta play to be valuable lol. Where I see Fournier as valuable is in a multi-team trade involving someone like Lillard or PG or Harden. Huge salaries will have to be moved and matched in that deal and this is where Knicks can get some value out of Fournier – his contract could be that plug in salary cap gap between teams and his salary will go away after this year (unless the team wants to keep him for another 1 year). So, it could be attractive. But Knicks will not get a lottery pick for him or a valuable starter. It's more like 2nd round picks or maybe a similar contract player (no one very good though) that might be a PF or a back up C, which we need more than a guard.
The Orlando game was absolutely brutal to watch. The number of missed shots was really hard to watch. My expectations are really low. This is the most uninteresting summer league in a while.
Agree keep, Evan as a salary match
Eight to Ten minutes a game subbing for Randle shouldn't be hard to find.I hope Hart fix that broke jumpshot before he gets paid.
Yes this is a great move for ny signing quickley, next sign Kristoff prizingas to a contract
Please Leon let's keep Evan foriena is a sniper 3 point shooter,he be perfect on the second team
Quick is one of my favorites, but the max I'd go would be 4/$64M
What do you tell Donte who stats are better across the board and just signed 4 years 46 million ! No way leon will do this
Ridiculous thinking we will give up 2 seconds for someone to take Fournier and his 18 million contract
My man Alex said how Isaiah Roby hasn’t looked good enough to him this summer to give minutes to as the backup 4 And then at the 2:34 mark he comes back and says how he has to admit that he hasn’t watched any Knicks summer league action this summer . If you’re gonna make that kind of judgement on these players at least put the work in and watch the games instead of trying to trick us like the chick in a bar with 3 legs . You gotta be better my guy !
