Pay cut from expected contract or pay cut from current contract?
Pay cut from his current contract would be a fucking steal, but a pay cut from expected contract on the open market, especially when looking at OG’s contract, would probably be more in line with his actual value

The vibes and the culture with the Knicks is in such a fantastic place. Of course, now they have to deliver on the court. But the unselfishness and consideration of the bigger picture and wanting to keep this team together and the pride of wearing that Knicks jersey….it’s something that’s been missing for a long time in New York.

To each their own, but giving up millions to build a college team is wild.

Damn, these kids don’t want to get paid? Limited time offer. Knicks Management is probably happy with this.

The first ever we seen massive pay cuts like this is to build a team of super role players not like 3 superstars

At some point we’re gonna stop calling these “paycuts” and start recognizing them as market corrections with the new CBA. To field competitive teams going forward, you realistically can’t just have 3 guys eating up all of the money.

Yes. This is the timeline.

The mentally I feel is
“Do I take 45 million a year, be filthy rich and screw up our chances of improving the team and winning”
Or
“Do I take 35 million a year, be filthy rich, and give us a better chance of improving the team and winning”

Would Randle take a payout to stay what you think Knicks fans? He’s not a nova guy so I don’t know.

Used to be, we couldn’t overpay people to come.

i mean they are living a dream playing together with their BFF’s and college teammates in NYC of all places, taking less money when its still insane amounts of money to stay together isn’t really a huge sacrifice.

Fielding a roster of best friends low key the strategy to team building. They’re all gonna take paycuts to make it work.
Going to be awkward when their loyalty gets repaid with a trade though lol. These discounted deals only make them a better trade target down the line.

Oh yeah, it’s all coming together.

42 mill for og with what the cap will be could be a steal . If he’s healthy .

The Knicks are betting against the Celtics finances and the Sixer’s health/age over this four year window they have created for themselves.

Being in NY increases potential endorsement deals so taking a pay cut is easily offset.

His pay cut will be a max extension. The literal lax the Knicks are allowed to give him.
Mr_Thug_Isolation
can’t wait for thibs to run them into the ground and fuck up the contract after that.

This thread is brigaded by delusion Knicks fans.
After a decade of defending and praising OG for being one the best defenders in the league, Knicks fans are in here getting upvoted for saying he’s better than prime Westbrook or prime PG.
