No your consolation prize was 27 million....you give up 5 million? No way in hell would I do it. Especially in the NFL when contracts aren't even guaranteed.If $22 million was my consolation prize? Heck yes

I know, you can go broke quick on a NFL salary...No your consolation prize was 27 million....you give up 5 million? No way in hell would I do it. Especially in the NFL when contracts aren't even guaranteed.
Backwards mentality. Does Jerry refuse a large portion of his N.F. L. revenue sharing? Are tickets discounted at the stadium? Large price cuts on merchandise? Typical uneducated, backwater line of thinking.At this point last summer Jalen Brunson had already achieved more team success in 1 year in NY than our trio of superstars have in years but it was comparable. Over the past year, Although having never been an All Star, his impact on his team’s regular season success made him an MVP candidate. In the playoffs with his team severely banged up he averaged numbers that have only been achieved by 2 players in the history of the NBA playoffs, Michael Jordan and Lebron James. His performance earned him the right to demand a max deal, contrary to the performances that our 3 players displayed while still maintaining the belief that they are owed maxed deals. Yesterday Jalen Brunson took a deal that lost him $113 MILLION for the team’s benefit. He said he studied what champions like Mahomes and Brady and Duncan did and this had to be done. Our 3losers on the field maybe are just that, incapable of winning. Will they not at least try to help the team win via this other avenue?
I mean….ask TO lol.I know, you can go broke quick on a NFL salary...
Don't comment on it then. Pretty simple.The NBA sucks!!! Keep it out of this American football forum.
Of course the NBA has a cap. Why do you think Brunson left $113 Million on the table in team’s favor if the NBA has no cap I wonder haha. Seriously? Anyway, besides that bit of ignorant gibberish I see the rest of your post agrees with me. Smart take.Why would they not we're not talking about that big pay cut? I mean we're talking about two different sports 1 doesn't have a cap and one does it's completely different sport so we shouldn't even be having this discussion...
so thank the OP for putting this nonsense up ,
however the way I look at it though they don't need to set new market money I don't get why they need to be the highest paid non quarterback in the league they should take some kind of top five money just like diggs, did why could diggs do it he was four when he signed now he's 5... you're still a millionaire, you're still making a lot of money ,and you're helping your team just enough where they might be able to add 1 extra player that's why would you want to be on a team that if you take maximum amount of money you could end up being on a worse team...
I think that's the problem here the egos of some of our players with the star on their helmets they want to be the top player the top money the new market setting record setting trend setting bragging rights contract i can't even list enough descriptive words, it's an ego problem..
We're not asking them to take a discount we're saying don't be super greedy just take a top five deal like say you were third in money..
I don't get why that's a problem like Prescott it'd be nice if he would take 54 instead of 60 and see lamb he doesn't need to be looking for 38 or whatever it is 35 for JJ why can't he take 33, more than AJ brown less than JJ and let's just move on, he would be 2nd in WR money but 3rd in NFL money. that not enough?
Did Brady or Mahomes make $39 Million? They took a pay cut as the OP spells out quite clearly. Will need you to go ahead and generate another nonsensical excuse unfortunately.Brunson, at over $39 million per season, makes significantly more than Parsons and Lamb. And he’ll always make more than they do. Look at what he did sign for, not at what he didn’t sign for.
Did Brady or Mahomes make $39 Million? They took a pay cut as the OP spells out qui… nevermind you wont understandYup while bruns9n is and will still make more than them while they play the more brutal sport and make less.....lmao sure
Thats a lot of halfwitted questions that won’t help you sound coherent nor have nothing to do with what would help the team winBackwards mentality. Does Jerry refuse a large portion of his N.F. L. revenue sharing? Are tickets discounted at the stadium? Large price cuts on merchandise? Typical uneducated, backwater line of thinking.
I don’t know what this says but it’s easily the smartest direct reply to my OP, well done brotherI appreciate the sentiments, old boy, but Jalen is truly naive and reckless with family money.
On the other hand, Brunson is honorable, selfless and giving.
What if, Mr. Brunson, you gave less money and the team follow your lead? Blimey, pie in the sty, if you ask me, and why wouldn't you?
But we comparing maples to orchards. Game culture is different between the 2 leagues.
Have you taken less money at your job? I think we all know the hypocritical answer.Thats a lot of halfwitted questions that won’t help you sound coherent nor have nothing to do with what would help the team win
Mahomes is on a 450m contract and Brady was conveniently getting paid extra by having his brand have a multi million dollar deal at Patriots stadium (funny how that sponsorship ended as he retired). That’s ignoring having a wife also making 40m per year which takes the edge off.Did Brady or Mahomes make $39 Million? They took a pay cut as the OP spells out qui… nevermind you wont understand
Winning a chip in a starved NY basketball market is like getting handed a blank checkWhy would these guys help Jerry screw things up more?
Here is a quote explaining what Brunson did…..
From that perspective, this extension comes off as more of a partnership decision. Brunson is helping the Knicks during their peak championship window. Down the line, he has a chance to be well-compensated for doing so. He's trusting the Knicks to take care of him as he has done for them.
I’d never trust the Knicks but aye….
They all also played on the same college team lolI'm a Knicks fan, and it's been rough. I tuned out for a long time, because Dolan was terrible forever.
This team is drastically different from most modern day athletes. These are sweat pants and hoodie guys who play as much for each other as themselves. It's rare. Brunson mentality is rare. Good luck getting the Cowboys to buy in.
