3 Tough offseason decisions Knicks will be forced to make

2. The Immanuel Quickley extension and how much it will cost

Following two relatively solid years with the Knicks, Immanuel Quickley finally made a massive leap, having easily his best season yet. The jump he made defensively gave the Knicks a massive boost on that side of the ball.

Similar to Toppin, however, the decision regarding his future will likely be made this offseason. Unlike Toppin, it almost feels like a guarantee that Quickley will be around for years to come. The only question is, how much will his extension cost the Knicks?

Quite frankly, the Knicks should pay Quickley whatever they want, just so long as they keep him around. A genuine price must be found this offseason. While the original asking price for Quickley was seemingly around four years, $60 million, there is no chance he will make that little.

More likely than not, Quickley will be making anywhere from $20-25 million if not more on his upcoming extension. While this price may seem hefty, the skillset Quickley brings, alongside the fact that he is only going to get better could make this deal look much better in just a couple of years.

Also, with the ever so expanding cap space, $20-25 million isn’t going to be some big asking price in a few seasons. Quickley is a player the Knicks must retain as his elite defense and sparkplug offense are far too valuable to let go.
