Jalen Brunson signs $156M extension with Knicks; Gives up chance at 5-year $269M contract in 2025

[DPresidential]

All things considered...to be able to live the dream to play with all your best friends and be the star of NY and have enough money to keep multiple future generations in luxury... I'd probably do the same thing as Brunson

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

JB wildin' leaving that much bread on the table...he better have a ton of endorsements lined up to recoup that...

NIKE WE NEED THE BRUNSON 1s LIKE NOW

Star player signs supermax extension - “Wow, he’s fukkin the salary cap up and not giving his team the opportunity to build long term”

Star player signs extension a year early to give his team flexibility long term - “Nah, they need to investigate because the league and NBAPA shouldn’t allow this”

In @Houston911's NBA this phrase is no longer uttered.

 

[K-Deini]

Oh we back alright

 

[melraH]

I get it it's his dream Job.
And the whole family thing, If they stay plugged in with Dolan he Good on that next contract. Dolan is an a-hole but he takes care of his people for example Alan Houston

THEYRE CLEARLY FINESSING
BUT I AINT MAD AT IT.

BRUNSON SIGNING WITH
THE KNICKS IN THE FIRST PLACE
WAS ONE BIG FINESSE

[get these nets]

If you win in New York, your name rings forever. And you will make more than the difference of the deals back.
I don't watch or care much for hockey, but when they aired the Stanley Cup Finals, I knew who commentator Mark Messier was based on something he did 30 years ago.

If Knicks are a contender the next 4 years, rather than a bad team with a high scoring player, Brunson will strike Madison Avenue GOLD !!

 

[In The Zone '98]

What is there to investigate?
This was the maximum extension they could offer him this offseason
Obviously there's benefits for the Knicks but him turning it down would also be a risk
What if Brunson tears his ACL in game 1 next year and is never the same player again? He would never get paid. We've seen players turn down extensions for bigger money down the line and it blew up in their faces

James dolan gonna make it up to him by giving him 1 mil for every rangers game he attends lol.

 

[gdatruth]

this is what the league wanted right with the 2nd apron & effective hard cap
they wanted players to take less money and break up super teams...Mission Accomplished. Clay outta Golden State & PG outta LA. Boston will have to figure things out in a year or two. But this is an unintended, 1 in million scenario that actually benefited the Knicks. Also it'll be unlikely anyone else makes more than Brunson if he were willing to take a discount as the best player/leader of the team

 

[Derek Lee]

Melo would never

 

[Nokids]

fukk man he has no seeds yet and his kids don’t even know how lucky they are yet

 

[No Homo]

He went for the safety aint mad at it...Dude is a second round pick who is playing way above any expectation....dont wanna get injured and end up like IT and that binks truck you're hoping for ends up making a u turn.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Should never give the owners a discount.
Stupid injuries can happen to anyone

 

[mvp_status]

that's my retarded ass PG
