Julius Randle, Knicks Not Rushing Extension Talks

Julius Randle became eligible to sign an extension at the beginning of August. However, neither the veteran forward nor the New York Knicks seem to be in a rush to get an extension signed.

However, Randle is excited about the Knicks additions this offseason. The 29-year-old believe that the team can be special after adding Mikal Bridges in a trade this summer.

Randle has two years left on the four-year extension he signed with New York in 2021. Randle could sign a three-year extension with the Knicks before the start of the season, if he picks up his player option for 2025-26. If Randle declines that option, he could sign up to a four-year extension through June 30.

Since joining New York in 2019, Randle has made the All-Star team three times. He was voted as the Most Improved Player in the 2020-21 season. Randle also made All-NBA teams in 2021 and 2023.
