Bojan Bogdanovic’s salary expected to be guaranteed
Michael Scotto: The expectation as of now is the Knicks will guarantee Bojan Bogdanovic’s salary for the upcoming season, and he’ll become a trade candidate in the final year of his contract as a result. That would put him at $19 million for the 2024-25 season. There are a lot of guys around the league that have a similar type of contract. The Knicks also have draft picks in the future they can dangle. Stefan Bondy: They made that trade midseason with the idea — as you mentioned Mike — that they could use his salary as a means to trade for a star because they need to match salaries somehow. I think that’s their ideal route where they guarantee that money, and then they make a trade.

Butler to the Knicks in a package for Julius Randle would work, as could OG Anunoby (who’s an impending free agent) and a second significant piece. “I like the Randle idea for Miami, but I’m not sure I like it for New York,” the scout said. With Butler at $48.8 million next season and Randle at $30.3 million, the Knicks would need to include another player or players to make the money commensurate. The Knicks’ inclusion of Bojan Bogdanovic, due to make $19 million in an expiring contract, would make the numbers work on that Butler/Randle hypothetical. -via Miami Herald / May 3, 2024
