Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks have agreed to a contract extension, and his decision to sign now will save the franchise more than $100 million. It is a selfless, team-first decision that will help the Knicks keep their current squad together.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday that Brunson's new deal will be for four years and $156.5 million. That's $113 million less than he would have been guaranteed if he waited until next year to sign. So he's passing up a five-year, $269 million deal in 2025 to ink a contract now.
