As they had the possibility, the Knicks activated the 4th year of the contract ofObi Toppin. The former NCAA star took time to find his place in the rotation, and he became Julius Randle’s understudy with about fifteen minutes per game.
Regular around 10 points per game, he shines on the counterattack, and here he is linked to the Knicks until 2024, and that ensures him a salary of 6.8 million dollars. Then he will be a free agent, protected if the Knicks offer him a “qualifying offer”, or unprotected if he leaves him free.
