BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[cow]

What I remember my thought process being is that if Brunson was here after the TDL, they had to be willing to pay whatever it took to keep him. 

Maybe it's revisionist of me, but I feel like I was pretty open to either outcome (trading him or overpaying him) in order to prevent the outcome we're about to be stuck with (Brunson walking for nothing from a cap strapped team in an extremely inflexible position). 

Bidding war with the Knicks to a certain number that requires them to clear cap space and then offer to help the clear that cap space for a tip.  Pray JB has enough loyalty to help push that compensation back to us.
