Knicks to add forwards Randle, Gibson, Portis

Free-agent forward/center Julius Randle has agreed to a three-year, $63 million deal with the New York Knicks, CAA agents Aaron Mintz and Steve Heumann told ESPN on Sunday.

Randle has developed into one of the NBA's most versatile offensive frontcourt players.

Randle, 24, had the best NBA campaign of his five-year career last season with the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 21.4 points on 52% shooting, 8.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

The Knicks followed up the Randle agreement by striking a two-year, $20 million deal with 10-year veteran free agent Taj Gibson, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said.
