The New York Knicks‘ backup forward, Obi Toppin, managed to stay on the team beyond the recent trade deadline, much to the surprise of many. However, with the offseason underway, Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News has suggested that Toppin is a player to watch on the trade market.
Toppin’s Contract and Trade Implications
According to Bondy, Toppin, the eighth overall pick in 2020, is due for a contract extension before the season begins. If no agreement is reached by the October deadline, Toppin will become a restricted free agent next summer.
