Jalen Brunson Signs Long-Term Deal with New York Knicks

Massive Contract for Unrestricted Free Agent

$104 Million Over Four Years

Jalen Brunson, a highly sought-after unrestricted free agent, has inked a lucrative four-year, $104 million contract with the New York Knicks. The deal includes a non-guaranteed final season. Brunson, a 2018 NBA draft pick, is set to earn $23 million in the upcoming 2022-2023 season.

Sources close to the situation reveal that the agreement was reached after extensive negotiations between the Knicks and Brunson's representatives. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed the signing through his Twitter account.

Brunson's departure from his previous team, the Dallas Mavericks, had been widely anticipated. His father, Rick Brunson, had hinted at the move in April, warning NBA teams that his son would "have to start looking elsewhere." The Knicks, eager to bolster their roster, seized the opportunity to secure Brunson's services.
