Jalen Brunson Extends Contract With Knicks - 4/$156M - SUBSTANTIAL Discount

[Im Coming Home]

This is pretty asinine. You only have so many years to make money. He gets hurt and the Knicks aren't giving him what he could have gotten.

The man wants to win a championship and there’s no difference between $200m and $100m. He can still buy every Ferrari on the lot and a mansion in Malibu and a super yacht

Aren't you taxed like 50%of your earnings?

I'd say it's significant.

Players like Allen Iverson are broke. For every generationally wealthy athlete there is one who had filled bankruptcy.

Sorry but Brunson seems to have a better head on his shoulders than Iverson did/does.

Next announcement: Knicks Coach Eric Brunson signs a 3 year, $200M extension

[knicksstuff]

We also should watch for MIkal Bridges to also extend on a Knicks friendly deal come October 1st

Why does OG get the mega bag and everyone else gets hosed? lol

What a legend.

I don't see how anyone could think otherwise or be cynical about this. Dude is happy where he is playing with his buddies, is still making a BOATLOAD of money and is leaving a legacy in NYC. He chose quality of life factors over maximizing every dollar of income, that is extremely rare in pro sports and should be celebrated. Good for him and good for the Knicks

I was already close to becoming a Knicks fan. But I now might root for them to win a championship in the next years. Would be an awesome story.

Do you think Donlan would take $1 discount to his payout or dividends for his beloved Knicks let alone $113.5m? Heck no.

No, but he clearly does take care of people that he feels are loyal to him. The Brunson family is obviously going to be a long standing feature of the Knicks long after he retires.

I heard what you said in the Vito Corleone voice. New York agreements am I right?

[HMFFL]

Players association is gonna be so pissed.

Indeed.
I don't believe most fans think about these things.

Because OG says nah uh. I ain't doing under the table deals. I'm Nigerian. I seen enough scams.

[KingFox]

They are destroying CJ McCollum on twitter this new CBA is crazy but im happy for the knicks

[G_K_F]

I really don’t give a crap what the Players Association thinks.

This is the only league where useless players linger on the cap for years because they have guaranteed contracts. Be happy with that and move on.

[SelfishPlayer]

Dallas financial ruined him by sitting him.on the bench for so long.

[baldur]

this is the biggest discount that a player gave? I don't remember such amount being left on the table. new york knicks will make the NBA finals soon I guess.

So Woj was being too generous with his calculations. His $113m discount included 2029-30 which isn't in the extension. If we do it like for like the discount is more like $51.4m. Which is still SUBSTANTIAL.

Here Brunson can opt out in 2028 when he is 32. At which point, he'd be too old for anyone to pay $60m+ to him.

Good for Jalen and Knicks, honestly becoming one of my favourite non-Raptors players. Dude is built different. Hope he wins for the Knicks and gets paid like crazy down the line.

Many of you guys are making it seem like these basketball players are not millionaires already. He signed a 104M contract when he came to the Knicks and will have over 150M in addition to that. Plus any endorsements he has. He has more than enough generational wealth than most people can dream of.

He's fine. Money isn't everything to everyone.

[swyftdahoe]

Kudos. He’s still making a **** ton, giving his team room to operate in this new 2nd apron era, and he’s likely gonna get a huge uptick in endorsement deals with his continued ascent. Mark me down as someone who’d buy his shoe. Smart long-term thinking move. Congrats Knicks fans.

[junot111]

Absolutely insane discount. Lol @ playing it safe, JB could tear his ACL in September and still get a better deal than this next FA. There must've been some assurances tied to bringing over his friend Mikal...

Won’t know how his game will age, but he’s going to make more than enough money being the face of New York sports. It’s between him and Aaron Judge rn and this deal might’ve tipped it in his favor.

How's he going to make more money? You think endorsement deals in NYC alone will be more than $52m over the next 3 years? Who's to say he isn't going to make those endorsements anyway?

He's taking a HUGE gamble that his game will age well. If he loses a step, he's basically FVV with less defense.
