It's too rebellious.

Brunson signed a contract extension with the Knicks for a four-year contract of 156.5 million.

That's right, it's the price. (For comparison, George and Philadelphia signed a 4-year 212 million)

He could have signed a maximum salary of 269 million for five years in the summer of 2025, but in the end, after a summer of weighing, he decided to take a salary cut and take 113 million less to help the team build a championship-winning squad.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is the most drastic pay cut in the long history of the NBA, right?

The new contract will cost Brunson $37.1 million less over the next three years, with a fourth-year player option.

However, this would give Brunson the opportunity to recoup the remaining $113 million through a four-year, $323 million extension in 2028 or a new five-year, $418 million contract in 2029.

That being said, what star would dare to do this like the big-headed, so sacrificial?

How do you evaluate this wave of operations?

Brunson has two options in front of him this summer:

First, it will continue to explode next season, with a maximum of 269 million for 5 years.

Second, renew in advance, take a lot less money, but have a chance to get it back after 4 years.

He chose option two, which was also the one that would benefit the Knicks the most. Because, the salary space of the team will inevitably explode in the next few years, and it will be very difficult to bring in reinforcements.

Then, as the team's boss, Brunson led by example.

As fans, we can jokingly say that under Thibodeau's men, the big head is not confident that he will finish next season in good health, so it is better to be in the pocket as soon as possible.

The NBA arena is indeed full of many unknowns, especially small point guards, in case of major injuries, they are basically scrapped.

The prime example is Thomas Jr., who got the team ready to transport the money, and the result... It's impossible for Brunson and his team not to understand these truths.

However, wait another year, you can take 113 million more, and 99% of people will be willing. Especially in the NBA world, if you put this business, who will not get along with money...

That's right, after 4 years, he may earn it back, and the Knicks may compensate him.

However, it is even more impossible to predict what Brunson's level will be in four years' time.

How much money you can make in the plan, that's all in a dream.

Will his sincerity be disappointed in the end? We can't pack tickets either.

After all, the management can change, the team owner changes, and all that can change.

This new contract did not exceed 40 million annual salary until the 27-28 season, and as the team boss is cheaper than 3D player OG, it is simply against the sky.

As teammate Hart put it:"Erect a statue of him! ”

After re-signing their star players, the Knicks are interested in continuing to bolster their projection and are targeting free agents Shamet and Bertans.

The former shot 33.8 percent from three-point range last season, while the latter shot 38 percent from three-point range last season.

From a basketball point of view, it is enough to illustrate one point:No matter what the outside world says about Thibodeau not treating the players as people, at least the big head is in the Knicks, and he is having a good time.

That's right, it's less money, but in the big city of New York, he is the well-deserved core, everyone revolves around him, and he can also play classmate basketball.

With less money, maybe I'll come back after two endorsements...

That kind of mental satisfaction that you might not get by going to other teams.

And, he saw the possibility of a championship in the Knicks.

This year, entering the playoffs, Brunson is a well-deserved god of war, in terms of performance, he is the best point guard in the league.

averaged 32.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, leading the Knicks all the way to the Eastern Conference semifinals, and finally lost to injuries...

However, the future is still worth looking forward to, especially after getting Bridges.

In front of the "classmate basketball", the big head is on the head...
