reading this thread, I dont understand the extreme reactions on either side
this was a no brainer for the knicks, no rules were broken, he signed the biggest extension he could sign right now instead waiting to next offseason. He could've gotten paid more but it came with risks
when its all said and done he has made $250 million dollars as a Knick. He is was a 2nd round player, his dad was journeyman (who never had a guaranteed contract) and at one point he was willing to take 56 million to stay in Dallas. When the Knicks gave him his 1st 100 million dollar deal alot ppl thought they were crazy. Now the same ppl are calling him crazy for taking a $140 million dollar contract.
btw his dad got a raise and makes $12 million now as an assistant coach
he playing with his boys
he the face of the franchise and arguably the biggest star in NY not named Aaron Judge
and the contract makes it easier to keep what looks like a potenitial solid core together, allows them to avoid the 2nd apron and add ancillary picks going forward
its a win all around except for ppl not called Jalen Brunson counting the money he could've had
but i am a biased long-suffering Knicks fan
