The Knicks are limited in how much they can offer Isaiah Hartenstein. Why? How does this work? Because Hartenstein, who will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, signed a two-year contract with the Knicks through 2022, the team now knows how much they can pay to bring him back next season. A two-year deal means they only have Early Bird rights, not Full Bird rights, which are available when a player has been with a team for three or more seasons. The Knicks can bring Hartenstein back, but cannot offer a starting salary greater than 175 percent of his last season’s salary. -via The New York Times / June 3, 2024
