Be surprising if the Knicks bypass all those guys so they can wait a year for Jalen Brunson.Yes. NYK signing Ball or Schroeder would be good news for keeping Brunson. They are a wild card team this summer and i expect some major moves. They can’t wait a year after the season they had this year. Internally it feels like they will make moves right now this summer now that they’re in a better position.
On the other hand if they strike out it may make sense to trade him there this summer, but IMO that would be highly dependent on what other moves we make. Get Lavine or Conley(after we knock them out) or another big time guard in a KP trade and suddenly it may make sense to shop Brunson. Unlikely though.
He doesn’t seem like the type of guy that will chase the money and fame. He and Luka are close as well. Not only that, he has Hardaway right in his ear telling him what a mistake that could be. In my head Rick Brunson and Tim Sr have already hashed it out that their kids will have a legacy attached to being Luka’s running mates
