New York Knicks willing to re-sign long-time star despite injury issues, but only one condition

The New York Knicks are ready to commit long-term to one of their stars; however, they want to protect their future.

The New York Knicks have made some massive strides in terms of improving their roster next season.

Its clear they want to improve on their Eastern Conference Finals run from this spring.

To do so, they took some drastic steps, including firing Tom Thibodeau as Knicks head coach .

It was later announced that the Knicks appointed Mike Brown as his successor .

Along with that, theyve made signings, with the Knicks landing Guerschon Yabusele from their rivals .

But theyve also secured their roster with long-term deals, signing Mikal Bridges to a $150 million extension .

But Bridges isnt the only player who could see his long-term future secured with the New York Knicks, as another star could receive an extension.

Edwards put forward a report recently for The Athletic about the New York Knicks.

When discussing the future of Mitchell Robinson , Edwards reported on some surprising plans.

He believes that the Knicks, despite Mitchell Robinsons injury issues, will offer him a new contract, provided that it is a team-friendly deal.

The Knicks know Robinson better than anyone, and hes been unable to stay on the court due to various injuries.

Ive gotten the sense that New York would be willing to sign Robinson to a team-friendly extension that covers them in the event he continues to get hurt.

On the flip side, Im sure Robinson points to his performances in the postseason and believes he can get one more nice deal from the Knicks or someone else if hes able to stay healthy in a contract year.

Robinson might have his injury issues, but when he is healthy, like he was for the latter half of last season and the playoffs, he can be a valuable contributor.

In the eyes of many, the Knicks are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference.

And while other teams, namely the Cleveland Cavaliers , are capable of competing with them, the Knicks are perhaps the most battle-tested team when it comes to the playoffs.

If Mike Brown is able to get things right next season, there is no reason why the Knicks cant emerge from the Eastern Conference and reach the NBA Finals..
