The Knicks are restricted in how a lot they will provide Isaiah Hartenstein. Why? How does it work? As a result of Hartenstein, who will turn out to be an unrestricted free agent this summer time, signed a two-year contract with the Knicks in 2022, the crew is now capped at how a lot it may well pay to carry him again for subsequent season. The 2-year deal means they’ve solely Early Fowl rights, not Full Fowl rights, which accrue when a participant has been with a crew for 3 or extra seasons. The Knicks can carry Hartenstein again, however they can’t provide a beginning wage better than 175 % of his earlier season’s pay. -via New York Occasions / June 3, 2024
