[Wojnarowski] In a largely unprecedented financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has agreed on a four-year, $156.5 million extension, his agent Sam Rose of CAA tells ESPN — $113M less guaranteed than he’s eligible to receive in one year.

That is insane.
Wow big respect for Jalen for taking a massive price cut to build a contender
Man really just wants to play with his friends
RETIRE #11 NOW
He’s set for life either way, but even I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving that much money on the table
Y’all mfers really said he was an overpay and we underpaid him twice, get fucked
Replace the Statue of Liberty with a Jalen Brunson bust holy shit
Nah this gotta be some Morey-Harden deal
What the actual fuck.
Never seen a player take *that* much less than they’d get

what the hell they better build a statue
King of New York
That’s insane, Brunson REALLY wants a ring
Give this man a statue
Rick Brunson just got a 100 million dollar raise
Build the statue
Dudes a leader for sure
This guy is such a fucking legend
Vibes above all
The best contract in the league has become once again the best contract in the league.
Holy shit. Brunson is the man, huge respect to turn down 113 mil on the table just for the sake of the team
Nova dudes better buy this guy dinners for the next 4 years. Including Chipotle.
Power of friendship is insane lmao
Pretty fucking crazy for a dude who has never got that massive bag (not that this isn’t it but still)
Rooting for the Knicks next year. Dude wants to win
HE GAVE UP ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN MILLION I LOVE TAMPERING AND FAMILY TIES WHAT THE FUCK
MY FUCKING GOAT!!!!
Brunson will probably go down as one of the most beloved Knicks of all time haha
Guy is all in on winning
This gotta be the best contract in the league right?
Breaking – Rick Brunson gets a 20 million a year bonus. He plans to give it to his son as a Christmas gift every year
Shohei Brunson
Build him a fuckin statue right now.
King of the York!!!
he deserves a statue for that
I guess the thinking here: if he brings New York a Chip, he’ll more than make up for whatever money he lost in this deal.
Incredible financial sacrifice from Brunson, just wow. This dude will be a Knicks legend if they bring home a title. Also, Cuban is an idiot for lowballing this guy.
Great move for Jalen.
The Knicks got him his guys and he takes a discount to ensure we keep them. This is the kind of superstar Knicks fans have been asking for. It’s truly something rare with this team.
This is the type of pay cut I was expecting a 40 year old Lebron to take when he said he was planning to take a pay cut to compete for a ring.. not the $3 mill pay cut he took for the Lakers to sign Bronny
He’s eligible for a 5 year, $418 mill extension in 2029. The numbers are just getting ridiculous. $80 mill a year?
I remember Luol Deng getting $15 mill a year being the worst contract in the league not too long ago.
Underrated aspect of this btw:
Financial security on his part
Plenty of fanbases can tell you that smaller point guards are always one injury away
Get the bag now while you’re still worth it and you’re set up no matter what
If he wins a championship he’s going to be regarded alongside the highest regarded NY athletes of all time.
Lmaoooo to everyone saying he’d never take a pay cut
Wow one of the few dudes who is genuinely all about winning
Bro is making less than OG. And as much as I hate the Knicks this is a massive testament to what they’ve built and finding a guy like Jalen who clearly values winning over everything else.
This fucking team is so likeable that it’s making me hate the Knicks even more.
