PostSportsPlus: Signing Jalen Brunson? Losing Donovan Mitchell? Punting draft night? How the Knicks did this summer
With the deal, he becomes the first Knicks first-round pick to sign a multi-year contract extension after his rookie deal with the team since Charlie Ward in the late 1990s. He has improved each season, and has become a strong two-way player, though his shooting numbers dipped last year to 34.2 percent from deep .
I’m a fan of Barrett. He works, he wants to be here and he appears determined to make himself into an All-Star. If it wasn’t certain before, Barrett is now one of the franchise’s faces, along with Brunson. They both have big contracts to live up to. But unlike Barrett, Brunson wasn’t dangled in trade talks.Isaiah Hartenstein brings a flexibility to the Knicks’ center spot the roster was lacking.This was my favorite move of the offseason.
Clearly, they weren’t comfortable enough with Sims yet for that to happen, so the Knicks weren’t willing to let their defensive anchor walk, which is understandable.when he has historically struggled with injuries, has yet to improve on the offensive end and there is a similar player on the roster is questionable. Robinson is actually making more money than Celtics big man Robert Williams III, who recently signed a four-year, $48 million pact.
The moves worked in that the Knicks landed Brunson and Hartenstein. Obviously, there was no prospect at No. 11 — where the Knicks were originally slotted — whom they felt was worthy of investing in. In time, we’ll see if that was a prudent decision.
