According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the final year of Randle’s deal will include a team option, something that will give the Knicks flexibility to potentially chase the free agent class of 2021, one that will include 2019 NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The three-year, $63 million deal Julius Randle agreed to with the New York Knicks contains a team option on the final year, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Randle spent last season the with the New Orleans Pelicans where he enjoyed a strong year that saw him average 21.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in 73 games played.
The Knicks were expected to be big players when free agency opened, but they’ve been quiet thus far and reportedly weren’t even willing to offer a full maximum contract to prized free agent target Kevin Durant.
The Knicks and owner Jim Dolan were not prepared to offer Kevin Durant a full max contract due to concerns over his recovery from the Achilles injury, league sources tell me and @wojespn. Knicks officials are in Los Angeles tonight, meeting with free agents such as Julius Randle.
