This franchise isn't defined by just it's owner or front office. It's defined by it's fan base. It never went away even with all the bad times they stick through it all and I hope one day they can experience and feel what is to be a Knick fan in the 90s. Kind of reminds me of the New Jersey Devils when they were winning multiple Stanley cups. No one cared and same is the situation in Brooklyn with their talented misfits.
I’m a Knicks fan and I don’t think many are viewing him as a savior or even putting all their hopes in him. If he puts up a consistent 18/6/6 then that’s all you can really ask. It’s consistency that’s really missing not a big time superstar.
bingo! These guys got swept with 2 max players who want out after winning NOTHING, but we sign Jalen Brunson, who we is a piece that we desperately need and get killed! You can't make this up.
This is bad take Rich ……. no Knicks fan expects Brunson to be the savior …. but he is the professional experienced under control point guard that we have been needing for the past ten years. A good get for us regardless what you Knicks haters think.
I guess you ser now why this town will always be a knicks town. We respect loyal players who want to win not winning players who are loyal to themselves.
Kevin Durant ain't playing basketball in NYC, where's the smoke for them?! I like you Rich, but you don't know the game like that. Brunson is a piece, we actually got a starting point guard after starting bench players for damn near 15 years. I don't kn how else to say it...HE'S A PIECE, and he's getting paid like one so relax with the false narratives. And not for nothing, he can ball and he's going to drastically improve the team.
Brunson is a 🏆, his whole life h.s. state title, 2 ncaa titles, and when given the chance in Dallas he stepped up, knicks needed a pg to start and he needs to start- rite for the $, getting paid equal maybe less than his nba equals.
If you got to any Knicks community you won’t see one fan call him a superstar. That’s a media narrative so that once he plays they can say they were right and he wasn’t a superstar.
No sir, that's the OLD concept, this is a team who's acquiring good pieces in order to compete for a title. After the signing, they still have all those picks sir, looks like a good pace to me.
Nobody understands Market huh? Yeah, it’s a big number at $104M, but it only makes him somewhere between the 15th-17th highest paid point guard in the league, so I’d say that contract is about Average, by definition, for whom most of y’all are considering to be an Average point guard, Correct?
@@whosmarc4702 with the extensions Darius Garland & Ja Morant just got, Brunson is probably 16-18th highest paid PG in the league. that salary range is the going market rate for NBA starting caliber point guards.
Rich get over and stop it… Brunson isnt Knicks Savior , he’s just a good piece it’s a start not the end All be all. Smfh Your truly an true Knicks fan 🙂
Perfect take. Knicks fans are the worse. The things that owner and front office has done over the last 20 years should be a felony offense. It’s not that there dumb,( which the are) It’s because they don’t care. No matter what they do, the knicks makes more money then everyone. So why change when Dolan makes money like he’s printing it himself. The losing doesn’t effect the bottom line.
@@NobleVagabond2552 He stopped putting his hand in matters years ago and personally the players like him as an owner. Put into perspective the Hockey club. They are the best and have Dolan all over it
Dolan has been quiet the last few years and the FO while striking out sorta last year ain’t a terrible FO. Meanwhile Cuban got hit with a workplace scandal not that long ago. Durant asked to leave and Kyrie already got his bags packed. So what if Durant plays basketball in BK. He found out real quick the Knicks are indeed still cool.
Brunson gonna be the next Terry Rozier. Had a good year, great postseason. Parlayed into a payday. Let's see what he does being the #1 in a stacked East. Perhaps they make the play in. It's only June, so we shall see
No one think he is coming here to save the Knicks and no Knicks fan like the owner. But maybe one day he will get the hell out of here and he is not the only owner of a team that people don’t like. Yes u are a heater because the Knicks fans are the best fans in the world
Thank you Knicks. Ya'll did us a favor. I mean, sure. In a perfect world I would like my Mavs to have kept Brunson. And it would've been nice to have gotten something back for him. But is he worth damn near 30m a year? Not by a long shot. At least not to the Mavs. And I like what Dallas has done. Traded for Christian Wood and signed McGee. If you could combine those 2 guys you'd have one of the top centers in the game. Dallas is looking pretty good. Luka, Spencer, DFS, Wood, McGee, Goran, THJ, Bullock, Maxi, Powell, Green & Jalen. If they could maybe get Gary Payton II to be the 3rd wing D man that would be a helluva roster. I mean Bullock is a legit NBA starter and he's now coming off the bench. The Mavs guard rotation isn't as pretty as it would've been with Brunson. But the Mavs have certainly fixed their front court rotation. You start Wood & McGee, you sub McGee kinda early with Maxi & move Wood to the 5. Then Wood comes off & you have McGee or Powell come in. And now the Mavs have someone who can keep Looney and other big men off the boards.
I mean Brunson is now the 13th highest paid PG in the league and the 42nd highest paid player in the league you act like it's that crazy. For a 25-year-old who has gotten better each and every year.
@@sunrain4532 Right for a guy who's improved every year and shoots 50% from the field he can't get any better he's done improving at age 25 who's played with the most ball dominant player in the league his whole career you're right man should average 30 as we speak.
@@kingbambam4523 Also isn't he like the 1st guy with 100m and no All-Star appearances? Yeah, that's kinda crazy dude. For "Just a Guy" to get All-Star money just seems like bad business. The Knicks must've been desperate to overpay so much.
@@jimmygreer2140 No he's not the 1st but still that's where the market is going both Anfernee Simons and Jaren Jackson Jr. haven't made an All-Star appearance either and got a 100+mil contract this off season so far. Not saying I agree with the contracts but that's where the market is going. In 2 years, Brunson's contract will be peanuts in comparison to those contract offers.
By the end of year one in NY, let’s revisit this decision. He was going to get paid, that’s not the issue. He would have gotten a ring, not now. It the Knicks. He chose poorly.
This guy is really hurt by the Knicks look what just happened in Brooklyn oh they so great that they lost 3 of the biggest superstars in the last decade in less than 6 months the Knicks have never been able to get a super star talent but they are least try and Dolan has never been afraid to spend the Bag 💰
They’re literally not though. Would Luka get paid middle of the pack PG money? Be sure that’s what Brunson is making . 14th most Pg money . At least get your facts right

Brunson deserves the world but calling the mavs GM and coach to new york only to end up giving them a run around is a real POS move
Business is business nothing personal. Sad to see Brunson go though.
Sorry Rich! Durant requested a trade out of Brooklyn. So Irving is probably next out the door. This is why it’s still a Knicks town. 😂🤣
bingo! These guys got swept with 2 max players who want out after winning NOTHING, but we sign Jalen Brunson, who we is a piece that we desperately need and get killed! You can't make this up.
This is a good signing by the Knicks idk why people are so up in arms. 14th highest paid POINT GUARD in the league. That’s fair value
he's 25% of their cap my guy.
it's a terrible signing.
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786 and the cap gets higher every year so essentially, he’ll became a smaller portion of the teams salary cap.
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786 when the cap rises he’s only gonna be like 18% of the cap. For a starting pg in this league that’s normal.
Great signing
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786 it’s about 21% of the cap.
This aged well
This is bad take Rich ……. no Knicks fan expects Brunson to be the savior …. but he is the professional experienced under control point guard that we have been needing for the past ten years. A good get for us regardless what you Knicks haters think.
bro.
you signed him for a max deal, 25% of your salary cap, that's savior $$...
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786 the knicks made him the 14th highest paid point guard in basketball. That’s not savior money
@@mongoosemcmongoose2786 where did you get that info from? Brunson was not a max deal. Not even close.
@@liferealgood sorry. $104m/4 years vs $130/4 years. so $26m per vs $30m per my bad

If you got to any Knicks community you won’t see one fan call him a superstar. That’s a media narrative so that once he plays they can say they were right and he wasn’t a superstar.
This aged terribly 🤣 Durant asked for a trade and now Kyrie wants to stay one more year and be gone. Ben Simmons might not even play again
No sir, that's the OLD concept, this is a team who's acquiring good pieces in order to compete for a title. After the signing, they still have all those picks sir, looks like a good pace to me.
Lol that kyrie take just crumbled
Brunson is good but he isn’t freaking Jason Kidd or isiah Thomas. Calm down.
Well guess what
How Rich feels about the knicks … the jets … same freaking thing
a joke right
Why u talkin like he is max free agent
b/c we are fans not front runners. very surprised at u encouraging front running.
that title lmaoooo
This didn’t age well. Stop hating old man, preserve your wrinkles!
Rich and his biased and half baked takes are exactly the reason why I strongly dislike most mainstream sports media outlets.
Rich you have no idea

Well guess what buddy
That's it Dolan, Jalen Brunson... that's what will turn your franchise around

Kevin Durant is playing basketball in nyc. Lol.
I don’t understand y any good player would go to the Knicks for
Brunson is good, not great. Not a star, this is one of the biggest contracts for a role player that I can remember.🤣

Far as the knicks is concerned, they should prepare themselves for when Bronny, Wade, and Anthony get drafted.
Brunson gonna be the next Terry Rozier. Had a good year, great postseason. Parlayed into a payday. Let's see what he does being the #1 in a stacked East. Perhaps they make the play in. It's only June, so we shall see
😩 random fans just spouting craziness. Brunson is not being paid like a number one option.

Yea the media just like trashing the Knicks moves no matter what. I haven’t seen one Knicks fan say he’s gonna be a savior. Not one fan.

I like Jalen Brunson but they're paying him as if he were Luka.
That won’t last long. He’s getting paid soon

Love ya Rich but this is a bad take
Bruson is top 5 all star! Worth the Money! We sells out tickets!
Pump the brakes dude
