Knicks plan to discuss contract extension with Julius Randle in offseason

Randle is shining for New York and became an All Star for the first time this season

The New York Knicks and Julius Randle plan on discussing a contract extension this offseason, reports Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Randle’s base salary this season is $18.9 million and will receive another $2 million in bonuses. Knicks can add up to four years to Randle’s contract, but they are limited on what they can offer on a raise to a max of 20 percent.

If New York guarantees Randle’s $19.8 million salary for next season, they can add $106 million in guaranteed money for 4 years. With incentives included, Randle could make as much as $140 million over five years. Former Lakers forward could wait until the 2022 offseason and either sign a five-year max worth up to $201.5 million or a four-year max with a rival team for up to $149.4 million.
