Knicks’ Julius Randle takes one for the team as he eyes star-powered roster down the road

The New York Knicks are thinking long-term with their off-season moves thus far, retaining some of their own players preparing to hit free agency and bringing in two outsiders to help bolster the squad. Adding point guard Kemba Walker and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier, the team has upgraded from the previous players who contained those positions.

However, one of their priorities this off-season was to extend Julius Randle, who earned his first All-Star appearance last season and is headed into the final year of a three-year, $62.1 million contract.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Knicks and star power forward Julius Randle have agreed on a four-year, $117 million extension.
