Why the New York Knicks Could Land $93 Million Washington Wizards Superstar as Potential Free Agent Addition for 2025-26 Playoff Push
With an already impressive offseason haul, the New York Knicks are reportedly eyeing one more key piece to solidify their championship aspirations. According to reports, three-time All-Star and 2021 NBA Champion Khris Middleton could become available via buyout, sparking interest from contenders — including the Knicks. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Middleton Could Complete New York Knicks' Playoff Core The New York Knicks have already loaded up this offseason, bringing in Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson and dependable frontcourt piece Guerschon Yabusele. These moves supplement the star duo of Jalen Brunson and newly-acquired Karl-Anthony Towns. But now, it seems New York might not be done just yet. Khris Middleton, who currently sits on a $33.3 million expiring contract with the Washington Wizards, could soon become a free agent if he and the team reach a buyout agreement. Should that happen, the Knicks are expected to pursue the veteran forward to enhance their scoring versatility and playoff experience. 'Multiple contending teams are monitoring Khris Middleton's future with the Wizards,' wrote Evan Sidery of Forbes on Twitter/X. 'Middleton is a strong buyout candidate at some point.' Why Khris Middleton Makes Sense for New York Khris Middleton (Image via Getty) , 33, finished his 13th NBA season last year after being traded from the to the Washington Wizards before the February deadline. The trade, which centered around Kyle Kuzma, ended Middleton's long tenure in Milwaukee, where he played a crucial role alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. Despite battling injuries, Middleton remains a capable scorer and facilitator. In 37 total appearances for Milwaukee and Washington last season, he averaged: Khris Middleton 2024-25 Season Stats Category Stat Points 11.9 PPG Assists 4.1 APG 3PT Shooting 36.1% on 3.6 attempts Middleton's combination of championship experience, offensive versatility, and basketball IQ makes him a compelling fit next to Brunson and Towns. His ability to play both on and off the ball could ease the offensive burden on backcourt while providing a reliable option in late-game scenarios. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Financial and Injury Concerns While Khris Middleton's talent is not in question, teams are wary of his contract and injury history. As Sidery pointed out, 'teams are not willing to offer notable compensation in a trade,' which makes a buyout the most likely route for his departure from Washington. Key Factors in Middleton's Situation • Contract: $33.3 million expiring • Injury Concerns: Ongoing for multiple seasons • Age: 33 • Buyout Potential: High, per league insiders Should Middleton hit the market and be willing to take a team-friendly deal, the Knicks are well-positioned to add him without gutting their roster or cap flexibility. Knicks' Ambitions Clear: NBA Finals or Bust The Knicks haven't reached the NBA Finals since 1999, but with Brunson entering his prime and Towns providing frontcourt firepower, expectations are higher than ever. Adding a seasoned playoff performer like Middleton could be the final piece to help New York make a legitimate title run in 2025-26. If the buyout occurs, it will be a decision that could change the playoff landscape — and the Knicks are keeping a close watch.

'Iron Man' Mikal Bridges Signs $150 Million Extension With New York Knicks: Report
Last Updated: Mikal Bridges signs a four-year, $150 million extension with the New York Knicks, prioritizing team flexibility over a larger deal. He averaged 17.6 points in 2023-24. Mikal Bridges has committed his future to the New York Knicks, agreeing to a four-year, $150 million contract extension, as per the latest reports. The agreement, first reported by ESPN, has not yet been formally announced. The 27-year-old forward reportedly passed up the opportunity to earn even more by locking in now. Bridges could have secured a $156 million extension—or potentially more—by waiting until his current contract expired next summer. Instead, he opted for slightly less money in a move that offers the Knicks greater financial flexibility as they continue building a championship contender. The Knicks made a major investment to acquire Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets in June, sending five first-round picks in a blockbuster trade. His decision to take a below-maximum extension demonstrates his desire to stay with the franchise and reunite long-term with his former Villanova teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. The trio helped lead the Knicks to their deepest playoff run in decades. Bridges quickly validated the Knicks' trade, providing crucial perimeter defense and consistency throughout the 2024 playoffs. Bridges averaged 17.6 points per game in the 2023–24 season, taking on a supporting offensive role behind stars Jalen Brunson and newly acquired Karl-Anthony Towns. While his scoring numbers dipped slightly from his time with the Nets, his ability to adapt and contribute on both ends of the court made him invaluable to head coach Tom Thibodeau's system. 'Iron Man" Bridges has also never missed a game in his NBA or collegiate career, appearing in all 556 regular-season games since being drafted in the first round in 2018. Prior to his move to the Knicks, Mikal previously helped the Phoenix Suns reach the NBA Finals in 2021 and finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting in 2022. In 2023, he was traded to Brooklyn as part of the Kevin Durant blockbuster deal and finished that season strong, averaging 26.1 points over the final 27 games.
