Bondy: The Knicks have not re-signed a player that they drafted to a second contract coming off their rookie deal since Charlie Ward. That’s how long it has been. He’s up for an extension after the season coming off his rookie deal. I think the Knicks view him as a future cornerstone piece. You’re correct in saying he’s their most valuable trade piece. If they are going to go after Donovan Mitchell or whoever, he would be their most enticing piece.

4-2 NBA night. Losses were 76ers/Bulls 2% OVER that fell short despite a nice 69-point 1st quarter & De’Aaron Fox not topping 25.5 points (-1%). 🦊 scored 24, missed 2 FTs & short floater in closing minutes
💰 76ers 4%, Pistons 2%, NYK/SAC OVER 2%, RJ Barrett OVER 25.5 points 1% – 1:12 AM

A 44-24 Knicks’ 3rd quarter gives New York a 92-87 lead over the Kings headed to the 4th quarter. That was impressive. Julius Randle with 30 points, RJ Barrett 20 points for NYK. De’Aaron Fox with 22 for Sac. – 12:23 AM
