To be honest, the owners voted this in and they knew what they were doing. They knew eventually players would have to take less money so teams could build proper rosters. It doesn't save them money but brings them more revenue because you increase their odds of playing more games if you make it to the playoffs and go deep which only earns the owners money, not the players.

If there we no salary cap, then I would completely agree with Rob's take. But there is a salary cap, and some players are taking less then they can command, in the hopes of giving the team flexibility to improve the team. Michael Jordan, until his last couple of years with the Bulls, took far less than he could've made on the open market. It's not like Brunson will be making the veterans minimum. He will still be a very wealthy man...even in New York.

I like this. Rob didn't pull a Chris Broussard. Let me speak, it's my show.

[@alawishes9943]

But this the same dude that says Lebron should take less …. Smh, talking out both sides of his mouth !!!!

[@JoelStrack-ri1xi]

He left 113 million on the table?

[@Big_AL_Nowitzki]

Yes and even more if he made first team nba

[@_CPerk]

He can sign another big deal in 3 years, but yes, by signing an extension this offseason he can’t cash in next off season for 262 which he’ll be eligible.

[@Big_AL_Nowitzki]

@@raze2400 lmao you ain’t got a clue. How dare you mention KD in this conversation. As a Dallas fan I wanted him to get paid. He already gambled on himself by taking 100 mill at New York. Way underpaid but no one knew at the time but him. He should have done the same. That team will never get to the finals. Impossible

[@4evahodlingdoge226]

@@raze2400 Brunson has 2 years left on his deal, it's a player option next season so if he gets hurt this season he just opts in, this deal made no sense for him.

[@_CPerk]

@@raze2400 so if he gets hurt two years from now, will he be able to reup for the max again?

[@deonm8448]

This is ridiculous . Why do millionaires give billionaires discounts!!!? When the Knicks don’t get a ring after all of this and they decide to move on from Bronson then what was taking the discount for?

[@jyanharris7957]

No dude you are crazy it's teams who have played with 3 max contract players!! Also this is his second maybe third team and he is a small guard he will never get a higher deal even in the future because if they don't win in the next couple of yrs they will trade him or allow him to walk because of his small size which was exposed in the later rounds he was always too small to defend but against the bigger wing teams he couldn't get a good shot off!! So this was just as stupid as what IT did playing through the injury because Boston wasn't going to pay him but 4 other teams wanted to in a sign and trade deal until the Bad hip injury!!

[@mtf88]

They let Tyreek walk bc he was asking for 30 a year. You cant keep everyone if theyre not willing to take a deal. The Chiefs did sign Chris Jones and Kelce tho

[@AilmanF2P]

CJ singlehandedly win the Chiefs two Super Bowls with his clutch play, also that top 5 defense came from draft picks with that Hill deal. You get a lineman, 3 defenders, got CJ paid and turned another pick into a WR that might be just as good. Makes sense to me.

[@DoremonUCR]

If Brunson gets NY a ring, he’s getting a max deal under the table. He’ll be eating in NYC for life.

[@darrinhedges4678]

He'd get more money from sponsorship deals

[@TheRealTruth533]

Rob is 100% correct. Why not wait one more season and receive an additional $ 113 on your contract. Bad signing.

[@darrinhedges4678]

& what if he has a devastating injury before next year?

[@TheRealTruth533]

@@kendrickjones2880 His value and possiblity of a serious injury can increase over 3 years in comparison to one year. Bad signing.

[@MrNado123]

I was just about to look at the 4 years on average, until I heard the deal that was available next year?!?!? Why wouldn’t he bet on himself???? Knicks fans/NBA regulars please explain?

[@darrinhedges4678]

1. If Brunson gets hurt this year then he doesn't get a max contract next year.Signing now gives him what is still a large guaranteed bag. 2. It will help the Knkcks roster for years and Jalen Brunson wants to compete for a championship. 3. If this contract allows the knicks to win a ring then Brunson will get more sponsorship deals and offset a lot of that money. 4. Brunson will be able to opt out after 3 years of this deal and then sign a mega contract at an earlier time than if he signed a 5 year contract next year. He can now sign a 323 million dollar contract in 2028 because he will be in the league for 10 years at that time.

[@lordrayden3045]

“It’s dumb” Well there are these things gs called a salary cap

[@amadorluis2008]

rob said the same thing for mahomes when he took a “paycut” and look how that’s going therefore as a huge Knicks and Chiefs fan ( truly diehard of both not a bandwagon it’s complicated backstory how i became a fan of these teams) i’m excited for my knicks !!!! GO NEW YORK GO 🧡💙

[@RobJarrell63]

4 years, only 27, entering his prime. Keeps his production up, hes getting a mega contract if he opts out at 30. Notbto mention HES GETTING HIS BOYS PAID. BRIDGES, HART, AND DIVENCENZO are all gonna get their money as well without the hassle. Yea you could make dolan figure it but they been tight since winning 2 national ships. If they win a ring (the knicks fans will be insufferable) it will be unprecedented.

[@skyjames8936]

Rob mad at Jalen and not the stupid ass league apron rules

[@TheGreatness-gg1jx]

Yall sound stupid arguing about the decision of a centi-millionaire makes. Tom Brady took less than market FOR YEARS and I heard no one say he was "stupid". Yall think like hourly wage earners. That's the problem.

[@joe19171]

I love that Brunson is taking pess to help his team..You are still worth millions, and are set for the rest of your life. Also, for the lives of generations of brunsons...

[@candaceh16]

I'm glad Rob just wasn't allowed to stupidly react. He clearly doesn't understand how the 2nd apron works. The new CBA is the problem and now many players will face this same decision

[@vincente4570]

The already is. I believe that this new collective bargaining agreement kicked in back on July first if I’m not mistaken🤔

[@twoine21]

Rob is basically saying all the teams are under the same rules. Why would a player give up his money to help the front office do their job, when other teams will basically have to become more creative to win. It is not Jalen Brunson job to sacrifice his earnings as a max superstar to alleviate the responsibility of the Knicks big wigs!! He needs to take his money and force them to make other moves LIKE TRADING RANDLE!!

[@benjaminberman6200]

Rob - you are without any question, the ONLY media member who insists on talking about this topic but has not bothered to do any research about it. Thank you, Mr Weiss.

[@goozmaahn6420]

Brunson just guaranteed that he'll be Knick for life and by the time it's said and done he'll have at least 1 chip and over 400 million in the bank by the time he's 34 years old. Not to mention he'll be the King of New York.

Lets not forget who is nyk president.. wont be surprise if they hv something goin behind the close door

[@JB2.0-hg5wb]

He’s in the biggest market in sports media and just became beloved w/ one press release. He’ll be eating the rest of his life from this, endorsements, sponsorships, NY insider trading cmon
