TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Moviemavguy]

I think about several guys who jumped ship because they wanted to be featured in a larger role, and expected that would be the case on their new team.

Just a few:
Kyrie
Harden
Grant
KD

Typically, it's a younger player with a large ego.

I just don't see that ego in Brunson.

Difference for all but Grant is that Brunson isn't as good as them.  Like, Brunson would be doing himself a disservice just the same if he thinks he can carry that sorry ass team.  And once those fans turn on him (half of them don't even want him), then it could kill his career.  That's a big, big risk to take.  I know players want to bet on themselves, but going to the Knicks is a difference story.  They won't take kindly to losing.
