Ian Begley: Told that Knicks’ trade for Mikal Bridges does not change their hope that they can re-sign free agent OG Anunoby. That remains a priority for the club.

The Bridges trade almost def takes NYK out of running for PG, but doesn’t have to jeopardize Anunoby’s future there.
They have his Bird rights. Still have $30m in cap after you add up their guaranteed salary. Still fairly easy to keep him (that defense would be insane). – 10:30 PM

We’ve repeatedly heard talk that OG Anunoby wants a bigger offensive role… I’m very curious to see how this impacts his future with the Knicks. – 10:16 PM

How much could OG Anunoby get in free agency?
I polled 16 front official officials on what they think a “fair” contract would be for him and outlined how negotiations could go for one of the summer’s most anticipated free agents.

More on this storyline
Yossi Gozlan: The New York Knicks are now hard capped to the $178.7 million first apron by taking back more salary than they’re sending out. This will have roster-building implications. They could still re-sign OG Anunoby and Isaiah Hartenstein, but they’ll need to reduce payroll elsewhere. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 25, 2024
Fred Katz: OG Anunoby has declined his $19.9 million player option for next season, a league source tells The Athletic, an expected move. Anunoby will now officially become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Free agency begins June 30. -via Twitter @FredKatz / June 24, 2024
OG Anunoby intel: The George interest surfaced at a curious time, after the Knicks low-balled forward OG Anunoby during early free agent discussions on a potential new deal, as Brian Windhorst first reported, and league sources confirmed to HoopsHype. When the Knicks first acquired Anunoby, the belief was that he’d land a deal in the $30-35 million a year range annually, league sources told HoopsHype. Now, however, that value has gone up, starting at $35 million annually to his maximum starting salary for next season, sources said. New York remains committed to re-signing Anunoby, and despite the start to negotiations, the Knicks remain the favorite to keep Anunoby this summer in the eyes of rival executives. -via HoopsHype / June 24, 2024
