Josh Hart also uneasy about not yet signing an extension
Josh Hart wasn’t as dejected as Karl-Anthony Towns when talking about a potential contract extension with New York, but the uncertainty is clearly on his mind.💬 “You always want to get it done as soon as possible. You don’t want that trickling into the season. Whenever there’s uncertainty, there’s going to be rumors. At a human level, it can wear people down and impact how you handle business.💬 “At the end of the day, it’s a business. … You never know what’s going to happen. For me, as long as I wear this jersey, I’m going to play as hard as I can. Hopefully we figure it out. … If some of these things aren’t finished by February, it might be a different situation.”Hart is eligible to sign a four-year, $132 million contract. Like Towns, Hart will not be getting the max from New York. However, like Towns, this might be the last big contract for the 31-year-old, do-it-all forward.Hart, more than anyone on the roster, wears his heart on his sleeve. If he has to play most of this regular season without an extension and the uncertainty begins affecting his play, we’ll likely hear about it again.Earlier this offseason, I talked to people around the league about a possible Hart extension.
