Becoming increasing likely that it’s done. Unless someone pulls a Banchero
Per NBA reporter Marc Stein, there is a "growing resignation" within the Dallas Mavericks organization that the Knicks are Brunson's "inevitable destination" when free agency begins on Thursday.
Chris Mannix: Part of the Knicks pitch to Jalen Brunson, I’m told, is the opportunity to be a full time point guard. In Dallas, Brunson can play with Luka. But Luka is the de facto point guard. In New York, Brunson would run the show

At this point, it's widely anticipated that Jalen Brunson will go to the Knicks on a four-year deal in excess of $100M. It remains to be seen how New York will clear the rest of the necessary cap space and whether the Mavs can work a sign-and-trade to recoup assets.
With Jalen Brunson likely to sign with the Knicks on Thursday, Julius Randle becomes an interesting player to watch moving forward.
New York can create a max salary slot next summer, even with Brunson, by declining team options on veterans and trading away Randle.
