The Knicks are shelving Josh Hart's extension talks until later in the year, SNY reports, and Hart, who wanted a deal done before the opener, is declining to lose sleep over it. He is on $20.9 million this season with a team option for next, and the "hell of a team that's trying to repeat" line is the closest he comes to a complaint, which is to say it isn't one. Karl-Anthony Towns sits in the same limbo, holding a $61 million player option for 2027-28. Hart's job just got bigger anyway: Mitchell Robinson left for the Celtics in free agency, and the guy averaging just over eight boards a game in his three-plus years in New York is now a primary rebounding plan. Hart's own read on the delay: "Everything is going to work out."
