The Sacramento Kings and Mike Brown have paused talks on a contract extensions.
The two sides remain apart on terms after discussing an extension this offseason.
Brown has one guaranteed season remaining on the four-year deal he signed with the Kings in 2022.
Brown guided the Kings to No. 3 seed in 2023 and finished with the No. 9 seed this season.
The New York Knicks are set up for an important summer. They have some key roster decisions, including extensions and re-signings. One thing that doesn’t appear to be on the priority list is trading Julius Randle.
The Knicks are not actively shopping Randle. New York understands that adding a star player this summer may mean having to trade Randle. However, the Knicks aren’t taking a must-trade approach to their star forward’s status.
Randle is eligible for an extension in early-August. New York isn’t likely to pursue an extension, because that would come with a months-long trade restriction. The Knicks are prioritizing flexibility with trades, as well as under the tax aprons, this offseason and into next season.
