The New York Knicks are going for it. After making a big trade on Monday, they inked a key player to a large contract on Wednesday. The Knicks and OG Anunoby agreed to a five-year, $212.5 million contract.
Anunoby was obtained in a trade from the Toronto Raptors last season, helping the Knicks in the playoffs before he had to bow out due to injury. Anunoby was a critical defender in the playoff run. According to ESPN, Anunoby averaged 14.7 points and 4.2 rebounds last season.
Anunoby will be paid an average of $42 million per year.

The New York Knicks have fully assembled the Nova Knicks. In a Monday night trade, the Knicks traded across the city to pull in Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets. Bridges join his Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart.
The trade is a reset for the Nets, bringing in four unprotected first-rounders (2025, 2027, 2029, and 2031), a protected 2025 first-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks, the Knicks’ unprotected 2028 pick swap, and a 2025 Brooklyn second-round selection.
More trades are expected ahead of and during the 2024 NBA Draft.
