Trying to consolidate the threads. Lots of speculation on those threads but the more solid stuff is:
-Expectation is Brunson will sign with the Knicks on a 4/110 mill deal.
-Mitch rumored to be around 4/60 but there seems to be a lot of debate on that
-Knicks have about 30 mill available but can get to around 37 easily.
Anything can happen.
Yes but meetings in Ohio 😉
so am i
Just remember if he goes elsewhere, Dolan probably cleans house. Jalen would be ensuring that his dad and his godfather's/agent's dad lose their jobs

True. How do we avoid a tampering charge though? We hired his fucking dad?

Riley gonna steal him from the Knicks. He’s gonna privately LOVE doing it to us too.
What other PG is out there? Trading for SGA seems impossible?

Can't he just let us have this one little thing? WTF

People assume that this was the Knicks way of convincing Jalen to come but there were reports that Thibs tried to hire Rick on his staff when he first took the job. I assume Rick wasn't interested in coming back to the NBA then. He probably already knew Jalen was coming here and jumped at the opportunity to coach his son in the nba.

with brunson, but this isnt the decision. If we miss out so be it, hopefully they have a solid plan B.

We'll get Brogdon and that'll be that. This would be an epic disaster on par with the KD/Kyrie one just given what's transpired in the last week (not quality of talent).
This is like my daughter becoming a soccer star-I knock on wood every night-& me ending up as some GM of some women's team & she spurns me to go elsewhere.
(Although I have this perverse interest in watching people who will say he’s overpaid and overrated if he signs with the Knicks act like this is the greatest move ever if he signs elsewhere.)
Would be terrible optics and a gross waste of resources and dysfunction

Agreed. No chance Rose and co keep their jobs if Brunson goes elsewhere, nor should they
Wouldn't work cap-wise. Would have to be Lowry or Dallas would have to be willing to take Duncan Robinson
It's gonna be bad if they do sign him too, because #LOLKnicks. Just for a few days though, if he goes elsewhere it'll last for quite some time
The Rangers run (as well as this totally unexpected Yankees start) took a lot of that edge off. I’ll be okay no matter what.

they sign and trading Herro for Brunson?

I just dont think it works with Miami, but who knows..Funny yeaterday it aounded like a done deal and now that hr is taking meetings it feela like they arent getting him

Sources: The Atlanta Hawks won’t tender a qualifying offer to forward Kevin Knox,
@hoopshype
has learned. Knox, who was ninth overall pick by the Knicks in the 2018 draft, will become an unrestricted free agent.
Hell no to Coby White. The dude plays like he thinks he’s Trae Young. The problem is, he’s not any good. But he damn sure thinks he is

I'd rather kick myself in the face.

Don’t underestimate Cuban and Riley. It’s probably a bad conspiracy theory but we already know Cuban is pissed at the Knicks. He’d probably go to great lengths at this point to screw up their master plan. If they really wanted to, Miami and Dallas can absolutely team up on a sign and trade. It would take some creativity but it can be done
Yep. It could be patience or it could be incompetence, but we haven’t seen Rose and company close a deal on a big time FA or trade yet. But no matter which perspective you take, he’s in over his head if he’s competing with Riley. Add a scorned Cuban to the mix and this can realistically go sideways in an instant

Yeah, I feel the same...if Riles is involved, I'm on edge. Throw in Cuban...I'll be sweating until Brunson signs with the Knicks, God willing.

I would still really be shocked if Brunson didnt sign with the Knicks, i still find it hard to beliece they would make moves to clear cap space like they have if they didnt have some sort of understanding..
Obviously anything can happen but id still be shocked
Again, I'm fairly confident Brunson ends up a Knick, but Riles getting involved has me on edge.
