"Get 140 million less" Bridge renews its contract in advance for 4 years of 150 million, and if you wait for signing next summer, it will be up to 290 million in five years.

August 1, according to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, Mikal Bridges (hereinafter referred to as Bridge), Sam Goldfeder and Jordan Gertler of Excel Sports Management, revealed that Bridges and the Knicks reached a four-year, $150 million early contract renewal.

Ohashi has one year left in the original contract, and his salary for the 2025-26 season is US$24.9 million. He can complete an early renewal with the Knicks from July 7 this year.

TheAthletic reporter and Knicks reporter Fred Katz said that a contract for early renewal of a maximum salary is different from a maximum salary contract. Ohashi received $6 million less than the maximum salary contract. The starting salary for early renewal of the maximum salary is 140% of the salary in the previous year, that is, $156 million in four years. If he waits until the original contract expires before renewing, that is, in the 2026 offseason, he is eligible to sign a five-year contract with the Knicks for about $290 million.

In the 2024-25 season, Ohashi played 82 regular season games for the Knicks, averaging 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game; in the playoffs, Ohashi made 18 appearances for the Knicks, averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
