If he does this, first of all he needs his head checked, second of all he needs a statue outside MSG

A move like that cements Jalen as a knick lifer.. I could totally see him getting a bag when it’s time for his retirement and getting a position in the company like Alan Houston

If he does this then wow. Hes literally our “Tim Duncan” kind of player for this franchise.
RealSteveScaf
He has to have a big sneaker deal coming with Nike or something. That’s a crazy amount of $ to leave on the table unless he is making it up on endorsements.

He will never have to spend a dollar in NYC.

If Brunson does this he will go down as mine and basically every fans favorite Knicks player, if not ever, of the last 20 years.

Can we get a new Dunkin commercial with JB now??
Flotsi9
That’s why I love this guy.
Good player, but also, good personality.
He have no problem to sacrifice some amount of money of his contract to help his team financially.

Statue. Immediately.

I doubt he does this unless it has player options so he can get back to the market earlier.

This dude is becoming my all time favorite Knick.

Bridges and Randle are up for possible extensions this offseason as well. If JB does this now, we can get both of the others done as well and lock in our core for the next half decade. If JB waits, the other ones prolly gotta wait too and the future looks a lot more uncertain. Maybe he does it for the sake of the team.

During the finals, I had a dream the Knicks won the chip next year. I’ve never had a dream like that before but I’m hopeful it was a premonition. Can’t wait for the season to start.

Bruh that’s less than Franz Wagner

Part of his thinking has to be that if he does lead the Knicks to their first title in 52+ years, he’ll be an Tier 1 NYC legend for the rest of his life, and make money off that reputation way past his playing career. That would dwarf any short term monetary gains he’ll make.
It’s a huge bet on himself if that actually happens, but JB is the type of dude that bets on himself.

Does this give him a lower pay per year than OG? Avoiding being the team credit card would be a big bonus 😂😂😂

Idk bout that one Jalen. Might be your last payday. Let Rose GM around your salary and make Dolan pay up
Emiya_Sengo
I hope he does so we can keep the Nova core for as long as possible

If Brunson is willing to go this far for the team, then Randle and Mikal following suit is definitely in play.
Don’t waste my time saying “Leon can’t pay everyone!” anymore lol

They can be like, who didn’t we bring here for you?
sirdeionsandals
It’s all good cause he will make it back with the 40 ads on his podcast

This is not only team friendly but smart long term for him. I believe it allows a bigger leap later. And while I fully believe in him, allows him to stack more years of delivering value to build his stock even more.
Guards on huge contracts can really stunt movement and even careers. See Kemba, Lavine, Beal. Brunson I believe is better than all of them. But still better to wait before you become a whale. Besides hes filthy rich either way.
Plus optically, its incredible promo for him to take a team friendly, win focused deal. Makes for better future leverage with fans, FO, sponsors etc.

Do this and get us a ring, and Cohan statue may go down to have Brunson in Times Square 😂
iguessssssbro
This is cool, OG should’ve taken a pay cut too though..
