The New York Knicks completed a bit of roster business Monday, picking up the options for second-year wing RJ Barrett and third-year forward Kevin Knox. Barring trades, both players will be on the Knicks roster for the 2021-22 season.
Knicks announce they have exercised the third-year option on RJ Barrett's contract and the fourth-year option on Kevin Knox' rookie contract.

Both Barrett and Knox are on their rookie deals, and this was pretty much just a formality, though Knox was so bad at times last season that it might have been fair to wonder if the Knicks would just cut bait on the embattled forward.
