RJ Barrett honest admission on contract extension will earn New York fans' respect

RJ Barrett signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension with the New York Knicks. He probably would've signed it sooner if the Knicks didn't hold out for Spida.

RJ Barrett signed a contract extension worth $120 million. He would have been eligible for a bigger deal if he had waited until next summer. Tyler Herro recently signed for $130 million and Darius Garland for close to $200 million in guaranteed money. For the Knicks, keeping a homegrown talent with star potential like RJ Barrett is a no-brainer.
