Ooof… have to hope he kind of explodes without Luka limiting his touches. That could be an albatross.

It will be an albatross I would say a big yes at $15M a year but $25M is paying him big bucks for a player who isn't going to be the reason your team wins. I could be wrong but he is a better as a complimentary piece than anything. I am guessing if Knicks do get him and try to swing a deal for Murray, it will look better as far as Brunson getting paid but the team itself will have a young core Maybe he has a Fred Vanvleet type All Star year, but I feel this is more classic Knicks going overboard on a player they like than Brunson turning into a fringe All Star

Not understanding the Knicks spending that cash on Brunson. They're asking for a lot of thing to go right to make it worth it. RJ Barrett take a huge step forward? Obi and Quickley keep improving?
Even if everything works out you're a team with a roster full of good pieces without a duo of superstars to play behind.

Well, NY for some reason is going all in on Brunson On the flip side, I like Detroit as a sneaky team this year. They are taking the right steps

I can’t imagine the thought process of “Ya, lets go all-in on JALEN BRUNSON.”

Brunson secured a bag and a half. Before last year, he was a 24 year old mostly reserve who averaged 10/3/3 for his career and now he's gonna get paid in NY and parlay that into endorsements as the new, big money acquisition in a mecca market. Huge, gigantic risk as a guy coming from a favorable position next to Luka or with unlimited run when Luka was out. But he is the more reasonable type of FA for the Knicks than the usual rumors (Don Mitch to the Knicks? KD to the Knicks? LEBRON?!?) But deeeefinitely a risk for a guy with only 1 good season.

I'm not gonna exclusively shit on Brunson tho. His shooting splits the last 2 seasons are immaculate. 51%/39%/82% from field, 3, free throw. He's got a good 1st step and can shoot from deep, which is a must being that he's gonna be paired with RJ who is still inconsistent at-best from deep. He's a good passer too, which the Knicks desperately need. Just say f*** it and run IQ/Brunson/RJ 1-3 for 36 minutes a night.

I think they are hoping for a Toronto type situation with Brunson playing the role on Vanvleet If RJ can take the expected step this year than they should be a decent tandem. Biggest problem is Randle. If he didn't like Kemba with the ball, he's not going to like Brunson and they were already giving RJ more of the rock to finish the season. Either trade him or make him know his role has changed and he can't throw fits like he did last year

Either trade him or make him know his role has changed and he can't throw fits like he did last year Brunson at least will look to pass, and is efficient with his shot. Kemba will take 25 shots trying to score 30 points and pass you the ball 3 times. But him liking Brunson more would also need Randle to realize he's not a f***ing All Star, and good luck getting that shit through his head.

Brunson's good, but this is giving me major Tobias Harris contract vibes, a good player, but THAT MUCH? Let alone dumping players in order to do it
Also they dumped, two decent depth pieces and even more draft capital to the Pistons to do it. The Pistons are looking like a really decent team right now, and they could still be in on Ayton.

There’s no way the Brunson deal works out. A lot of money for a guy who basically has Harrison Barnes stats
It’s also going to FUBAR the market this off season

Imagine trading away Westbrook at almost 50 million and returning 2 useful probably starting players on reasonable deals. Damn near impossible. Way to go LeBron.

When you care about the name on the back more then the name on the front you going to get shit like this When he one day becomes an owner I really hope he stays out of the front office because his decisions are just as clouded as MJ
