The source close to Brunson believes it is important for the Knicks to lay out a detailed plan of how they will become a contender if Brunson joins them. That means everyone being aligned — front office, coaches, players — with one mission in mind. Brunson, the source said, will create a pros-and-cons list when it comes time to make a decision.

“The Knicks will have to present a detailed plan of how to create a winning culture,” the source said. “He’s very calculated. He’ll do what he thinks is best for his long-term career. Winning is extremely important to him. He wants to be in an organization where excelling is valued, around guys in the locker room buying into the same thing he’s buying into.”

As soon as Brunson signs with Dallas he would get moved cause he would be a redundant player behind Doncic.

That’s not hard to predict.

We are not that far off

I don’t remember Randle having these demands prior to signing his contract.

But I LOVE IT.

From the owner to the FO to the coach and the cornerstone players (Randle / RJ). Brunson and company are placing expectations on everybody else. Asking about things that the fans want to see like: what’s the plan? What’s the strategy to win a chip? What’s the timeline? What stage are we in? Development stage? Ok for how long. There are so many questions that’s left unknown. So at least there’s additional pressure from Brunson which the media will repeat.

Is it possible to get both Brunson and Murray? Does that make us better? I’m not a fan of adding none shooters to a core of non shooters (Randle/RJ). So that’s a starting lineup of 5 players that score at the rim or in the paint. And Brunson is the only player with decent 3 pt range of Murray is added as a starter.

Without Murray, you can surround the 3 non shooters (Randle, RJ, Mitch). With Brunson and (Grimes or EF).

Maybe we should be looking at trading Randle to Pho for Ayton and letting Mitch walk

Is this his elaborate way of saying “get rid of Randle”?
