Brunson will be coming up for a new contract sooner than people think. Once you hit that second apron if you are not a contender you are in major trouble. Paying 25mil per for a guy who is unplayable when the games actually count is not smart. Until Quick proves otherwise he is in Randle territory once the playoffs starts.

For me there is no reality where IQ gets $100M over 4 years.

You don't pay IQ the same numbers as Brunson/RJ/Randle got. Everyone knows this and so does the Knicks FO. Brunson got a 4year $104M contract. Randle got 4years at $117M. RJ 4 years $107M.

FO typically offers value contract when they are in that position. I wouldn't sweat it.

Hopefully you are right. I will keep faith in the FO because they have done a good job so far.

True, but they will miss every once in a while. Overall they have done a very very good job!

Knock Houston of the list. They just signed Dillon Brooks and FVV.

Bruce seems like a cool dude. I hope he can find another MLE elsewhere.

BTW, do we need a new “around the NBA” thread?

Naw, but we could probably use a new FIBA thread We have three Knicks participating after all.
