3: Signing Mitchell Robinson to an extension

Robinson possibly not signing an extension with New York and becoming a free agent at the beginning of July is a sore subject for New York fans, as it should be.

The 24-year-old was picked by the Knicks in the second round of the 2018 draft. In his fourth season, he’s averaging 8.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game. Robinson’s shooting 76.1% from the floor.

Will Mitchell Robinson and the New York Knicks agree to an extension?

Not only can he finish at the rim, but he can protect it, too. If fans could have it their way, Robinson would be back with New York next year. However, the simple fact of the matter is that he could make more money with another team. The center’s been linked to Detroit, Oklahoma City, and Dallas.

If June 30 comes and goes without Robinson signing an extension, he’ll garner plenty of interest as soon as the clock strikes midnight on the first of July.

The last update between Robinson and the Knicks was that the two sides would continue to discuss a possible extension leading up to free agency. With New York being days away from the offseason, expect those talks to ramp up.

Imagine if Barrett were to get a maximum rookie extension and Robinson were to agree to an extension. The future of the Knicks would actually be… promising.
