The agreement came after the player declined a player option for the 2026-27 season. The contract provides the player with a greater long-term guarantee in exchange for a smaller payment next season.
Contract details and team context The Knicks completed the deal while staying below the second apron threshold. The team's owner stated last week that the franchise would avoid entering the second apron. The backup point guard posted a plus-24.5 net rating in the playoffs and a plus-12.5 net rating during the regular season while on the court.
Additional offseason moves The Phoenix Suns agreed to a three-year, $38 million contract with a starting center on June 25. The deal brings the team's payroll above the luxury tax and first apron. The center averaged 11.7 points per game in 60 appearances last season.
