2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

But fwiw I am skeptical he's going to be that interested, unless the NY money is overwhelming compared to elsewhere. They are bad.

Not only are the Knicks bad, but JB has also spent his career to date playing with several ex-Knicks who I'm sure have shared plenty of stories of their former franchise dysfunction. I also think all of the talk of his dad's connection to NY is severely overblown, as with all of the hype I was surprised to learn that he only played in 69 games for the Knicks. I guess "Brunson's dad played for 8 different teams" really takes the fun out of the narrative that the NY media is looking to generate.

Now it's certainly possible that Brunson gets a huge offer from another team that Dallas may think twice about matching. But right now I have a tough time believing that the Knicks are anywhere near the top of his list. Part of it is the issue of actual (not theoretical) cap space. And part of it is the reality that the Knicks just aren't a desirable destination anymore despite their history.
