Knicks Believe They Could Land Another “Significant Player”

According to Ian Begley of SNY, the New York Knicks believe they have the opportunity to land another “significant player.” New York believes the assets are there to land someone like Karl-Anthony Towns.

Believe it or not, they do have the assets. Currently lined up are eight tradeable first-rounders, four of which they own. Plus, they have Evan Fournier’s $18 million expiring contract they can dispose of.

While it’s “unlikely” the Minnesota Timberwolves will move off of Towns due to their team’s success, New York will never stop being tied to trading for him.

Some in the NBA world thought the Knicks were done; however, it’s believed they’ll make another move if it means not gutting their team. New York and the Toronto Raptors started trade season with the OG Anunoby and RJ Barrett trade.

Tom Thibodeau Signs Extension With Knicks

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks have extended head coach Tom Thibodeau to a multi-year contract.

While the money specifics have yet to be mentioned, it was reported that Thibodeau is being extended for three seasons, which will run through 2027-28.

Fans can generalize what he could make per year due to earlier reports saying the 66-year-old wants roughly $10 million a season.

New York’s management has complete faith in him, as they’ve gone all-in on their franchise after seeing him lead them to the postseason three of the four times since he was hired. Thibodeau was hired in 2020.

Knicks Interested In Walker Kessler

The New York Knicks are interested in Walker Kessler, per SNY’s Ian Begley. Kessler has been on team’s minds since the beginning of this offseason.

With New York losing Isaiah Hartenstein, there has been a feeling that they need to get another center to complement Jericho Sims and Mitchell Robinson.

While the Utah Jazz aren’t in love with Kessler anymore, seeing how he is now on their Summer League team and losing playing time last season, they still have a price tag for him. The price? A first-round pick.

New York does not have first-round picks, as they used them all to get Mikal Bridges, but they do have protected ones that aren’t projected to be as valuable as possible in trades.

Kessler, who is 22 years old, is making $2.9 million this season – a manageable amount to try to trade for a piece like them.

NBA Insider: OG Anunoby Isn’t Thrilled With Knicks Offer

This summer has gotten more interesting for the New York Knicks and their fanbase; how so? The initial reaction was that OG Anunoby would automatically re-sign with New York, but he has a change of heart.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Anunoby did not appreciate the offer he was given by the organization. This has caused Anunoby to be interested in looking at other offers in the open market.

At first, after being traded from the Toronto Raptors, he wasn’t going to test free agency. However, plans may have changed and have caused some added stress to the front office of New York.

“Let’s keep an eye on that,” said Brian Windhorst on Get Up on Monday morning about Anunoby becoming eligible to discuss a new deal with the Knicks. “Most people believe Anunoby 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.”
