Big news today! It shouldn’t have to be big news, quite frankly, but it is:
*Knicks are planning to pick up Ntilikina’s 2020-21 option. It will become official later today. They will also pick up Dennis Smith Jr. and Kevin Knox’s 2020-21 option https://t.co/Q7OMpdnHA5

The Knicks did the damn thing already! Picking up Dennis Smith Jr. and Kevin Knox’s 2020-21 team options seemed like a foregone conclusion, but up until literally the moment the Knicks picked it up, there was rumblings that the Knicks may have declined Frank Ntilikina’s option.
