“We were saying we’re going to Vegas, like when you say you’re going to Disney World when you win the Super Bowl,” Immanuel Quickley said.

Julius Randle — shortly after one of his best performances of the season, going for 25 points, 20 rebounds and five assists against Charlotte — spoke gleefully about the In-Season Tournament. He confirmed he was a fan of the format. It took not even a sentence to sum up why.

“A chance to go to Vegas,” he said.

But is it a chance to go to Vegas or a chance to win $500,000 in Vegas?

“A chance to go to Vegas,” Randle said before hesitating, thinking over the answer and quickly verifying that he had it correct all along. “Yeah, a chance to go to Vegas.”

As RJ Barrett put it so succinctly earlier this week, “If someone said you can go to Vegas and win $500K, would you wanna do that?”

The Knicks’ bank accounts will grow either way.

Players receive $50,000 each if their team loses in the quarterfinals. If it loses in the semis, the bonus is $100,000. If it loses in the championship game, they make $200,000 each. And if they win the whole thing, that’s a cool half-million transferred into their pockets.

Josh Hart says he’s buying himself a new watch if the Knicks earn their mega bonuses, the same thought any old chum must get when he finds $500,000 in an old jacket.
