Knicks’ Julius Randle explains why he signed a team-friendly deal to stay in New York

When the New York Knicks connected with Julius Randle and his agent regarding an extension, communication was seamless and smooth. Normally, things can get a bit choppy between the front office and agents, mostly due to a difference in compensation and supposed value.

However, this was one situation that both parties agreed on, and after watching Dennis Schroder play away a massive contract extension offered to him by Los Angeles, Randle decided to take a more logical approach toward a deal with New York.

Randle signed a four-year, $117 million extension, but he will stay under $30 million per season, which opens up the possibility of signing another star in the future.
