[Wojnarowski] The deal — which will cost Brunson $37.1M over the next three years — comes with a fourth-year player option, Rose said, and that would set up Brunson to recoup the rest of the $113M on a four-year, $323M extension in 2028 or a new five year, $418M deal in 2029.

shohei brunson
4 year 323M? WTF. That’s Saudi Arabia soccer money
This is a horrible decision by him ngl. The selflessness is admirable but leaving 100 mil on the table is ludicrous
Hopefully he can get that thank you supermax at the end of the 4 years (But he may get injured and never see that money)
We either get some NYK chips, or we are going to see the greatest “Leon Rose is a liar” rant in 2028. Can’t wait
Man he’s gonna regret not taking more money now when they don’t offer that full max extension in 3 years
Leaving guaranteed money on the table for hypothetical money. Knicks better take care of him when the time comes.
The money and years Knicks have Brunson signed for may be the best value for a free agent in modern era
BRUNSON A REAL ONE LET’S FUCKING GO
Sheesh I wouldve said fuck the team I need that 112 Million🤣
Hey LeBron, this is what a paycut looks like.
There’s now room for more Nova guys!
Jalen Brunson stay healthy thats a lot of money to give up.
NBA players bout to be making 100 mil a year lmao
For the Mavs fans who refused to believe hed take the 4/55 he asked y’all to give him, there you go. He doesn’t lie, he’s always valued stability over extra money.
might be a decade away from the first 3/4 billion contract. Wemby? Crazy
I’ll give him a ton of credit, putting winning absolutely first and took a huge discount to win. Love to see it, great for NY and the league in my opinion. May other stars follow in his footsteps if it pans out. Turned down 112mil, absolutely incredible
$418 million. God damn these dudes are gonna be billionaires from just playing money alone!!
bro better have a street named after him or some shit bc this is crazy, like damn that is next level selflessness hopefully it works out
Brunson yearly salary:
2018-19: $1.2M
2019-20: $1.4M
2020-21: $1.7M
2021-22: $1.8M
2022-23: $27.7M
2023-24: $26.3M
2024-25: $25.0M
2025-26: $34.9M
2026-27: $37.7M
2027-28: $40.5M
2028-29: $43.3M (player option)
$400mil contracts in just 5 years???
323M? 418M?
when the hell did that happen
Brunson will go down as the Knicks goat. He’s just different.
$156,000,000 ÷ 4 = $39,000,000 per year.
If you currently make $75,000 per year, it would take you 2,080 years to earn the equivalent.
And remember this doesn’t even make Brunson rich, the guy that pays Brunson is the rich one. We on the bottom my dudes.
No shot the Knicks actually give 5/418 to a 32yo undersized guard in 2029 right? This is a pretty big risk from Brunson’s camp imo
Ohtani ass contract
So how much is Brunson losing if he opts out after 3 years and then gets his max? Seems like it might work out for him in the end
People mocked him and called him overpaid couple of years ago. Now, they seething because he took a pay cut. This sub is bipolar
Idk if Brunson’s game will age that well to get a max deal in 2028/2029 but here’s hoping he gets that bag!
Leon rose spoke? That’s the real news here
So he would just make all the money he “lost” back later
Kind of undercuts all the reporting on him “sacrificing” all that money for the team then
