according to Popper all indications are that Brunson is willing to sign this offseason to give 5 more yesrs of certainy and forgo 270 millionhe could sign next year
And it's not that nuts. This year was an outlier for him based on his career to date. Now, I think he will continue, but he may not play quite at this level again or he could get hurt. That extension guarantees him enough money for life right now in a still very big way and helps them to build a real consistent contender.

Good point on stage in career. I thought LeBron was pretty young when he did it but I might me misremembering.
if we didn't someone else would. Every team in the league is trying to find star level players. They're the most precious resource in the NBA. KD, Zion, Embiid, Kawhi, even Porzingis all signed mega deals after serious injuries.
As for LeBron, he took a slight haircut (something like $15 million over the entire deal) on his Miami contract but it was nothing compared to what Brunson would be leaving on the table by not waiting a year.
I agree and will add that even Greg Oden got a nice contract (for that time) after it was clear to the world that he could not function as a NBA player.
Brute fact is that Brunson is a lot smaller than any of the players mentioned. Big guys stay big; little guys who lose a step, well . . .
If Brunson were to suffer an ACL or Achilles injury, he would not be in demand around the league for a top money contract.

The Brunson contract stuff went crazy today with some aggregation starting with one of the best and then getting loose with the interpretation. To be clear, everything I've heard is expectation he wants to sign this summer - but not that it's some done deal. And (1/2)...
Steve Popper
@StevePopper
The financial implications aren't as drastic as it looks right now -- Brunson can sign this extension which raises his 2025-26 salary, and then base his next deal off bigger TV deal while still in his prime. (2/2).

Knicks will make a move without question, it may not be the big big name but they are looking for a big wing that can score
Who isn’t lol. But yeah that certainly makes sense. Booker, Durant, Lebron, Mikal, PG all could be available this offseason. I’d expect one to be a Knick

The nice thing about the NBA offseason is that everything happens so fast. The finals wrap up the second or third week of June, the draft is the 27th, and then free agency starts the following week. The theories and hypotheticals talk only goes on for like 6 weeks and then we have answers. I much prefer that than the endless speculation we get around NFL free agency and draft.

I can’t get behind LeBron in any way. I hope this isn’t the case.
Lebron is still a long shot to even being a discussion, once he makes a decision on his option then you will start to see what he is thinking
Lebron is a great fit for this team at the right price. As much as I am not a fan, he works hard, doesn't miss time, and is not a selfish player.
He would definitely let Brunson cook and play a strong 2nd option.
When he opts out he can do a sign and trade to help the Lakers
Would LeBron sign with a guarantee that the Knicks use their

RE: Would LeBron sign with a guarantee that the Knicks use their
Trade up?
Bronny is drafted in the 2nd and can lead the Westchester Knicks to a title while taking his team out every weekend on his dad's credit card.
RE: Would LeBron sign with a guarantee that the Knicks use their
But I don't know why this isn't being discussed more as an idea. The cost to get probably two more years of LeBron as a second fiddle is as little as two firsts. That's as cheap as it's ever been. He just averaged 25-8-7, and really doesn't look like slowing down a ton.
The key is he'd have to want to come to NY, but what other location could be better for him as a combination of winning and brand recognition.
Imagine his legacy if he brings an elusive title to NY.
about the Lebron possibility and he mentioned they probably didn’t want the circus that comes with him. Makes sense with the strong culture they’ve built.
However, it really does line up perfectly. Knicks have three draft picks in the range where Bronny should be available, Lebron has an opt-out, he’s a perfect fit for this roster at this time, and could add to his legacy in a major way by being a part of the Knicks team that finally wins it all.

Are you serious? Besides last season LeBron hasn’t played more than 56 games since 2019, and last year he still missed 11 games.
LeBron may be the most selfish player in league history… How many coaches have been fired and players dealt because of him?
Sure he plays defense and distributes when the spotlight is on him, but he’s such an unlike able player I can’t see why anyone would want him on the team.

I can’t believe I’m reading this. Knick fans want LeBron. You guys are crazy.

Russ, CP3, Lillard, LaVine, DeJonte, Hayward all signed big deals after various surgeries.
could be a really good role player in the NBA, he can shoot the 3, he can handle the ball, he can pass, he can D up..He is not elite at naything but he is good at a lot of things
talking earlier about how he'd listen to a Rockets trade offer for Bridges involving Jalen Green and getting their picks back. I cannot confirm if he was drunk or not. lol.

Agreed, but if we won with LeBron, the narrative would be about LeBron. I don’t want to win that way.
I firmly believe the superstars of the LeBron era hurt the NBA product, with their me first attitude and play style, flopping and incessant complaining. It feels like the league is finally coming out of that haze, with team and city oriented superstars, de-emphasizing flopping and emphasizing a more physical game that isn’t over officiated. Hopefully all of that brings the complaining down, but that remains to be seen.
I can’t wait for the LeBron’s, Harden’s, Durant’s and Kyrie’s disappear.

Apparently this was on the table and the Nets turned it down, which is objectively a horrible decision.
Hopefully the Rockets look elsewhere this summer because that's a tough offer to beat. We should have everything else covered.

That’s the complete opposite take of scouts and NBA folks I’ve read recently.
Quote:
The other scout dropped a harsher take, saying: "Positional athlete. Doesn't function as an elite athlete. Tweener stuck between two positions. Should be a point guard based on his size, but he can't run an offense. He's handicapped as an undersized shooting guard because he can't shoot.
The scout furthered, "His comp [is] a poor man's Davion Mitchell. He is not an NBA prospect in my opinion."
RE: RE: Would LeBron sign with a guarantee that the Knicks use their

Bronny is drafted in the 2nd and can lead the Westchester Knicks to a title while taking his team out every weekend on his dad's credit card.
Correct, to guarantee that we get him. I know he's a second round talent (if that), but could the Knicks have a wink-wink deal with LeBron to secure drafting Bronny.
Head fakes, and ability to read the center’s coverage.
With his improvement in three point shooting, I actually think his game will age very nicely. He’s not a slasher or dunker, those are the guys that struggle when they lose a step (except if you’re Lebron who never ages lol)

The way Green finished the season, they arent trading him
but Indy is predictably making Al Horford look like the old man he is. Boston needs KP back soon. I’m sure Horford will still hit a big three soon, as always.

Boston has gone to zone in the second half and it’s slowed Indiana a bit. Knicks prob should have tried something similar games 6 and 7 given the number of guys they were down and Indy’s shooting

It was about Lebron, lets be real, do i think its likely to happen or even 50% chance? no..
I think its about a 10% chance with it bumping to 25% if he opts in
David Mills? Wasn't that Brad Pitt's character in Seven? Lol.

100% trades these two firsts and a future pick to get to like 8 overall to get Bronny only for Lebron to stay in LA anyway
David Mills? Wasn't that Brad Pitt's character in Seven? Lol.
Honestly I’m glad I got his first name wrong. The more I can forget about that era the better.
My point was Arod was motivated by the money. That was Nos. 1, 2, and 3 on his priority list. Brunson seems to be just the opposite.
you seem to be laying it on a bit thick, lol. Brunson got what he could 2 years ago (and rightly so). It's not like he came for the MLE.
And A-Rod tried to REDUCE his contract in order to facilitate a trade to Boston but the union wouldn't let him.
Knicks fans under the age of 60 would like to see a championship in their lifetimes.

The other scout dropped a harsher take, saying: "Positional athlete. Doesn't function as an elite athlete. Tweener stuck between two positions. Should be a point guard based on his size, but he can't run an offense. He's handicapped as an undersized shooting guard because he can't shoot.
The scout furthered, "His comp [is] a poor man's Davion Mitchell. He is not an NBA prospect in my opinion."
I mean i am not a scout so lol, i could be conlletely wrong , just saying id tske a flier

talking earlier about how he'd listen to a Rockets trade offer for Bridges involving Jalen Green and getting their picks back. I cannot confirm if he was drunk or not. lol.
Apparently this was on the table and the Nets turned it down, which is objectively a horrible decision.
Hopefully the Rockets look elsewhere this summer because that's a tough offer to beat. We should have everything else covered.
The way Green finished the season, they arent trading him
Brunson, Divo, Hart, George or Mikal and OG against smaller teams..
Boston has gone to zone in the second half and it’s slowed Indiana a bit. Knicks prob should have tried something similar games 6 and 7 given the number of guys they were down and Indy’s shooting
Right on cue

but Indy is predictably making Al Horford look like the old man he is. Boston needs KP back soon. I’m sure Horford will still hit a big three soon, as always.
Right on cue
Yep, he’s missed a ton of wide open three pointers.
