[Windhorst] OG Anunoby is not ‘thrilled’ with the Knicks’ current offer and will test the market: “Let’s keep an eye on that. Most people believe he will stay with New York, but there have been indications he may want to test the market, because he’s not thrilled with what the Knicks are offering.”

Yea I don't see a world where they don't pay him. They gave up their two best young asset for him. Those two guys would have combined to make 50+ mil annually anyways. He's getting his money.

I noted this when we traded IQ (RFA) and 3.5 years left of RJ
Should’ve sent over some picks instead. Gave up like 8 years of control of guys under 24 for half a season of a guy
I love OG but seeing that Indy gave up like 19th pick and Bruce Brown (with a player option) for Siakam doesn’t sit right with me.

u/explicitreasons 12d ago
IQ wasn't going to get the role in NY that he wanted & Knicks weren't going to pay him starter's pay to be a backup. RJ I think they just admitted that they didn't want him or his contract around.

u/BenAfflecksBalls Mitch's Block Party 11d ago
RJ they did what was right for him. He was not profiling and styling in NY and they sent him to Toronto and he balled out and finally looked like a #3 pick.

u/baylixir The Strickland 12d ago edited 12d ago
RJ was one of the worst contracts in the league when we traded him.
Also, let’s be perfectly honest. Trading IQ was more optimal than firsts because ultimately, we weren’t paying IQ. The firsts are for the next move, which we know is going to happen.
9
u/zOmgFishes 12d ago
RJ's contract was essentially role player money. It was not nearly as bad as people made it seem. For reference, guys who made the same amount as money as him this year are Wiggins, Jordan Clarkson, Rozier, Brogdon, John Collins, Brice Brown.
His inconsistency was an issue and trading him was the right move but the contract itself is not nearly as bad when you look at the overall nba landscape.

u/CanadianGroose 11d ago
Bruce Brown has a team option (not player), so the raps can choose to accept or decline. They will likely accept and trade him for a late 1st or multiple seconds. Maybe to the Knicks lol.
They also got the 19th pick, which could’ve been the 16th pick if not for insane bad luck losing a 4-way tiebreaker. The 29th pick which they turned into Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji, and then a future 2026 1st which will likely be late if the Pacers are good then. The OG trade was certainly better value for Toronto, considering they got rid of Malachi and Precious too, and got the 31st pick.
IMO, the Knicks should try and convince IHart to stick around and compete for a ring next year. A healthy Knicks team can beat Boston. Trade Bojan and picks for someone better.
1
u/Drak_is_Right 11d ago
Indy gave up I think 3 1sts this draft (Celtics and denver), a draft that is considered subpar.
Indy had a longer timeline, they could have afforded to sit pat with all their young talent. Left the raptors with no leverage and a shrinking market.

u/The_Living_L 12d ago

u/SpeclorTheGreat 12d ago
I’m sure OG is looking at the contract that 34 year old Jrue Holiday got from the Celtics as a reference. Jrue got 4/134 and OG’s contract is definitely going to beat that considering he is going to be in his prime and the fact that he has a lot more defensive versatility than Jrue does.
I definitely think this contract is going to end up being around 4/160, and I don’t think that’s an overpay considering how much the cap is going up per year.
5
u/Dylan7346 NOVA 12d ago
Don’t mean to split hairs but I think 4/150 would be more fair. We’re talking about a role player, yes a highly valuable one but still a role player nonetheless and one that consistently has weird unrelated injuries

Who has offered him a max yet? Honestly letting him leave wouldn’t be terrible.
I like his game and he fits our team a lot, but a max for OG who plays 45 games a year is not ideal.

u/SpeclorTheGreat 12d ago
One other team that could offer him more is the Sixers. There is no way in hell we can let that happen. We don’t know what the Sixers are going to do with their cap space so I think it’s a good idea to see how things develop over the next few days.

Alright well then goodbye championship window with Brunson. OG is what we spent our assets on. IQ and RJ. No perfect magical unicorn is going to fly in and win us a championship.

The Knicks have done such an amazing job of keeping things quiet in house, I wouldn’t expect other GMs to know much about what’s going on either.

1
u/E-Miles 12d ago
This isn't an in-house report, it's a report about a free agent likely from his agent. His agent's job is to call around and talk with other FOs. So there are plenty of places this report could come from, none of which has anything to do with how the Knicks operate internally.
1
u/Demo71 12d ago
His agent is w CAA which is essentially an extension to Leon Rose. I doubt they’re that dissatisfied mere hours from when the Knicks could begin negotiating. Once again Windhorst is not a Knicks guy. Perhaps if the report was from someone closer to the team I’d believe it. To this point none of those are reporting this. Not to my knowledge anyhow.
1
u/E-Miles 11d ago
I'm not following your logic here. Someone closer to the team wouldn't report on the team upsetting a free agent. This is standard agent reporting to make it known their client is available. Rose might have a great relationship with CAA after his time there, they aren't going to do a worse job and get their clients paid less so that Leon gets to maintain his job with the knicks. The relationship is essentially consistent exposure and willingness to negotiate among CAA clients. That's not a guarantee with some teams and agencies (rich rich Paul and the knicks for years). It's not that the agents stop doing their jobs for the knicks.

Heck Shams usually doesn't, and he's way more keyed in as a reporter. I still think we're going to have to give him over $35M AAV, which will hurt but is necessary for what OG brings.

If OG he were a pitcher who throw 102 with control. Sure he's misses games but when he's out there it's just a different look. There's also offense for Thibs to unlock here. This isnt just a 3&D guy. He should be viewed as our next Randle. From good to 3x all star

Yooooooooo? No way this is true. If so I still think it takes a lot for him not to resign with the NYK

This contract was supposed to be a done deal once we gave up RJ and IQ. Would be a disaster class move by Leon if he fails to get it done.

He's going to re-sign with the Knicks. I think og's agent is hearing that other teams won't pay big money. So they're planting stories to get Knicks to pony up more money.

You have to take into account that he’s always hurt, as much as I love him.

Can everyone stop saying oh OG has Leon’s son as his agent, he is one of several agents he has and is not his main agent, that’s from Katz

Great talent. Difference maker for sure. Struggles being healthy as a Knick. Would hate to overpay for an injury prone player.

if it wasn't for his injuries it'd be a no brainer, but if it wasn't for his injuries he wouldn't be on the knicks

I’m trying to figure out how much money will OG, Randle, and JB are going to get and how much of the cap will be left with iHart trying to get paid and Hart’s contract?
The Knicks have two more years to win a championship and seeing the Celtics win it makes me think that it’s going to be Celtics vs Knicks ECF for the next 2-3 years if Thibs doesn’t run down our starters before the playoffs starts.
I don’t see us keeping iHart with Jared Allen available.

I got clowned and downvoted hard when I said I wouldn’t feel comfortable until pen was put to paper and a contract was signed.

Great player, when healthy. Sure as hell not worth more than 30 million a year, especially with his injury issues. Only way he gets 40 per year from us has to be with minimum games or minutes played per game played.
Sorry OG. You're great for the team but not at that price.

He will realistically end up with a 4 year / $160 Mil contract. My guess is the Knicks started at 4 years / $120 Mil or something like that.
