Jalen Brunson to sign 4-year, $110M deal with the Knicks: source

NEW YORK — It was over before it started.

Jalen Brunson called off his meeting with the Mavericks and will sign with the Knicks on a four-year deal worth roughly $110 million, a source confirmed Thursday. The news was expected after the Knicks used draft picks to clear the cap space for Brunson, who will serve as the lead guard for a squad that hopes to climb back to relevance.

Brunson, 25, is joining a franchise with familiar faces. His father, Rick, is a Knicks assistant coach and his agent, Sam Rose, is the son of Knicks team president Leon Rose.

The Mavericks declined to offer Brunson a contract extension before the season and never got another chance. Word of Brunson’s firm commitment to the Knicks leaked about an hour before free agency even started.
