Randle has been with the Knicks for each of the previous five seasons.

He has helped them become one of the best teams in the league.

Last year, they were the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 50-32 record and beat the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the NBA playoffs (before losing to the Indiana Pacers in seven games).
