Just insane to me we didn't throw a solid 5 year offer at Brunson that the Knicks couldn't match. Especially now after seeing that Cuban is indeed willing to spend 52milion in luxury tax alone this year. Letting him walk for nothing made way more sense to me when I thought we would dump salary to eliminate as much of the tax bill as possible. Understandable if you're going to live the life of a no tax/low tax poverty team.
Completely unjustifiable to me on a player evaluation standpoint when the budget is actually there
I think it’s safe to say he was one of the guys responsible for leading the team to play hard, too.
