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

[F Gump]

Here are his exact words from that interview that I am referring to:

"I know for a fact they have a plan they feel good about that entails losing Jalen...that may have been muddied by the Durant news...they wanted to get assets for JB, they didn't want to pay more than $22M, they knew they were probably going to lose him"

 

Kamm, that is NOT the exact, full, wording of what Skin said. You have edited out words, that imo call into question whether there's actually a plan still going right now.

And if Nico has some sort of plan in the works, he's giving no hint.

I would also call into question Skin's thesis that a wing would have to be the highest priority, which he openly based on the observation that they began the offseason by speaking of a wing and hadn't gotten 1 yet. But at that beginning point, they were working under the assumption that Brunson was returning. Skin failed to note that MAYBE getting another PG type had become as high or higher on their shopping list now.
