@JayGillyTheKid Facts. And it’s a new team GM 1 vs defending champs. Give it time. He need to be a legit scoring 3rd option for them to contend tho. Can’t rely on OG like that
@JayGillyTheKid Ok valid. While maybe not as crazy a discount as everyone is saying, he is certainly taking on the risk for the betterment of the team which is exactly your original point
$113M is going to get all the attention, but really this is Brunson giving up $37M over 3 seasons (huge for NY), so he can then hit FA as a 10-year vet + potentially make (wait for it) $81M a yr.
This isn't altruism - it's an unprecedented partnership between a player and team.
@JayGillyTheKid Pretty sure his 4th year is a player option so he can opt out and make his money back with an even bigger contract once he hits his 10 year tenure
@JayGillyTheKid I think Luka prefers Tatum because he’s equal speed (slow) and Luka is stronger. Jaylen has the speed and strength (strong let than Tatum). My only conclusion because this too has fascinated me
