This isn't 2015 anymore, the price of the brick has gone up on new deals across the board.

110/4 = 27. That's the 14th highest average for point guards. Middle of the road.

The problem isn't giving Brunson that contract, its the fact that Randle's now shyt salary falls on top of that.
Not mad, I’m imagining what I could do with all that:wow:

The Knicks haven't had stability at PG in forever. They just locked up a genuinely good PG that's 25 years old for the next four years (104 million). I'm happy with that move, especially considering it robs the Mavs of their second-best player when we hold their draft pick.

Hartenstein is sneaky good pick up too. He's not a floor-spacing shooter, but his passing ability helps open things up and he's got a solid scoring game inside. His defense is pretty damned good, especially for a back-up. They need to be three deep considering Robinson's injury history.

46% from 3 last year? :leon:

Block numbers are promising. Another lefty though. Lol.

He doesn't really take them though, so it's on super low attempts. But his jump shot has always been projectable. I thought he'd be shooting more volume by now. He's still good in space though because he can hit shots inside the arc and is a genuinely good passer. Remember how Taj Gibson killed teams out of the short roll all season? This kid can do all the things Taj was doing, except he's bigger and only 24 years old.

...and his defense is legit.
