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

[KillerLeft]

I don’t want to cast aspersions on any posters, but that first part is the truth. Brunson is already outplaying even the contract he got from the Knicks. $26 million a year is fine for  a third or maybe even a fourth best player, especially if you’re a big market team like Dallas and are serious about building a team worthy of an all time great.

Oh, there is zero doubt that he’s worth the contract. That will become clear even to the most stubborn amongst us eventually. 

An argument can be made, I suppose, that he is more worth the contract running his own team as the primary point guard then he would have been here, playing second fiddle, but I think even that POV is a little shaky, tbh.
