This part is what I was talking about before. He will make that money back anyway on his next deal. So instead of a paycut it is a payment deferred.

If he signed the big extension now and bigger extension later would that 100M still not be left on the table? Don’t really see how the fact that he can sign a big deal later changes anything about what he can sign now.

With him signing now his next extension he will be a 10 year vet(a huge money increase). Plus the raises in the cap will increase his pay even more. He will be making like 81mil a year. If he signed next year he would lose a year of that huge money and be able to get an extension on his 11th year. So things will even out anyway but signing the extension now helps the team a hell of a lot more.

“Evening out” still seems like a massive stretch. He’s taking a 100M paycut in his prime and it evens out because he can sign his latter mega deal, which still has lots of uncertainty and risk attached to him, 1 year earlier?

Over the next 8 years Brunson will net nearly the same total as taking the smaller $ up front and then back loading most of the rest. If that is not your baseline assumption than you are talking about 2 different things quite frankly.

If you only think of this in terms of the first 4 years, of course it is different.

If you think like Brunson, he is able to add one of his groomsman and probably the other groomsman from last year on to his team for the difference in what he’ll make over 8 years.

So, less money now plus DDV and Mikal or the whole enchilada and only chill with Josh while not having as much to run to the finals with.

If you can’t look at it this way, you are missing out on hanging with ya boys while already being fatter rich than you own head is fat.

Why can't he take he take the bigger $ up front and still backload the rest though?

Using simple math ...

Sign 4 years 150 now, then 5 years 400 for the following 5 years
Sign 5 years 250 next year, then 5 years 400 for following 5 years

Not sure what I'm missing, outside of that 100M still being gone and Brunson getting deeper into his 30s off that second mega deal by waiting a year.

Actual math that make sense. Your numbers are not correct. Clean put out a video. Go catch a Fred article. Drink something heavy. It’s Friday night.

What you are not understanding is he will make way more in his 10th year if he signs now than if he signs the extention next year since you get a huge jump in pay as a 10 year vet that with the extra 10% cap raises will cover what he is missing by signing early.

Sign now his 10th year will include the multple 10% cap raises and the huge jump in pay for being a 10 year vet.
Sign next season his 10th year his career will be on old cap numbers so it will not include the extra cap raises and it won't include the 10th career year jump is pay.

That jump in pay is coming regardless. He can ride it from years 11-15 instead of 10-14 after collecting an additional 100M on the frontend if he wanted to. And you can play the same game on the backend of the latter mega deal - he can start it a year earlier or if he waits an extra year he will enjoy a massive salary in year 15 instead of signing a new deal as an elder statesmen for a fraction of that ala CP3's contract last year versus this year. That 100M he's leaving on the table isn't miraculously coming back.

If he has a career ending injury in the next 3 years, that extension and $100m never hits. So no.

Someone needs to send this to Brunson in case he didn’t realize it. Sam prob forgot to tell him.

how many « career-ending injuries » have you seen a 30yo get in the NBA ? Risk is low IMHO
in the same logic, he could get a career-ending injury THIS YEAR, so he really secures 150mil with his new extension which you also have to factor in the decision

I’m just saying this looks like a very smart business decision by him, not a 100mil gift the NY Post is writing about

This is true, I agree. And his 150 mil is multi generational wealth
