Brunson wants to be a Knick for what?


The Knicks made a series of ridiculous moves last night to position itself to make a move for the Dallas Mavericks free agent point guard Jalen Brunson. Some reports say the deal is a 4 year, 100-million-dollar contract.

Brunson is ok but I thought there were a bunch of young guards in the draft that have a much bigger upside than Mr. Brunson.

Sadly, I think the part of the fan base that supports going after Brunson is going to be deeply disappointed for the following reasons.

Brunson wants to be a Knick for what? 

  • To pay outrageous wage taxes? 
  • To pay outrageous property costs and property taxes? 
  • To play for the worst run franchise in professional sports? 
  • To leave Luka Doncic, a bonafide hall of famer in Dallas with ten more years left at his peak?
  • To leave his coach Jason Kidd to play for the inflexible Thibodeaux? 
  • To face the most mean and sarcastic group of sportswriters in the world every day? 
  • To play in that dump Madison Square Garden? 
  • To play for an owner that has his goons beat up retired former players? 

Brunson would be the biggest idiot in the world to play for the Knicks, especially when Dallas can match any contract the Knicks offer.
