This trade comes at a time when the Knicks and Jazz would be in full trade talks to find a way for Donovan Mitchell to end up in Big apple. However, as Wojnarowski pointed out, Barrett’s extension should either complicate or delay a potential trade for the Utah star. The Canadian could not be included in any transfer this season 2022-2023.
Beyond that, Barrett’s renewal puts an end to the particular “curse” that has characterized the Knicks’ offseasons for the past two decades. Charlie Ward he was the last player selected by the New Yorkers in the first round to extend his commitment to the team after the end of his rookie contract. It’s been a long time since that 1999, and that’s a sign that things have changed and can continue to change for the better at Madison Square Garden.
