There were plenty of bad deals handed out during the first week of free agency, and the consensus puts Julius Randle’s three-year $62 million among them. The 24-year-old entered the summer following a breakout season with the New Orleans Pelicans, and while Randle was arguably the best player New York signed this summer, his contract is vastly overvalued.

On the court, the Knicks can expect similar numbers to the 21.4 points and 8.7 rebounds that Randle averaged with the Pelicans, and it is possible that the Randle could even make an All-Star team due to the weakness of the East.

However, it is still difficult to justify the Knick's decision to use such a significant amount of cap space on the former Lakers star, and the franchise should be looking to offload Randle before the February trade deadline.
