The NBA’s “six-month rule” is a contractual stipulation that affects players who have been traded while on an existing extension. The rule states that any player who has been recently traded must wait six months before the team can renegotiate the player’s contract.

ESPN’s Bobby Marks reported recently that “indications are” Bridges “will wait until next year” to sign an extension. The Knicks want Mitchell Robinson feeling 100 percent before he returns from another setback in his recovery from surgery, according to Tom Thibodeau.
