Overview
- In a New York Post interview, Brunson said he wants to spend the rest of his career with the Knicks.
- He previously told Vanity Fair he had sacrificed and hoped the team would 'do right by me' after accepting a four-year, $156.5 million extension in 2024 that left about $113 million on the table.
- The team-friendly deal preserved cap room that allowed New York to keep OG Anunoby and add Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns as it pursues a title.
- Brunson is extension-eligible again in 2027 and, per reported projections, could command roughly $323 million in 2028 or about $418 million in 2029.
- The three-time All-Star is averaging 26.8 points and 6.2 assists this season and says the championship is the standard under first-year coach Mike Brown.
