Last one wss Magic Johnson for $25m/25 year contract that would have ended in 2009 if he didnt retire

Dude. Bobby Bonilla day is right around the corner.

Sounds like someone isn’t doing anything this July 1.

hey jerry buss got kinda close to that lol

I’m glad Knicks fans appreciate Jose as much as we do :,)

Jose is a treasure

Bobby Bonilla! July 1st every year till 2035 he gets 1 mil+. Happy early Bobby Bonilla day!

Fun fact, the Knicks signing Allan Houston to ⁶⁄₁₀₀ in the early 2000’s ended up being such a disaster that the NBA had to create the one time amnesty clause allowing teams to waive a player and remove his salary from their luxury tax calculations.

Maybe playing for his home team and being able to live as a millionaire in his home town was more important. Nothing wrong with that if it means it’s the only way he stays in NYC.

He’s quickly become a folk hero in the city in just a few months. Especially for latinos. He’s gonna get endorsements like a star and be a legend in his hometown for life.

Securing $14m is smart tho.

He should’ve got like 3 years $40m

Insane steal by Dolan

He has a TON of off-court earning potential in NY

it’s 4.5M vs. 14M. Shit can happen, nothing is guaranteed

Very likely it’s backloaded to save on the cap now

he’s gonna end up with around 2.5 million a year or so after taxes.

It is still a lot of money but he can’t go around like a “baller” and going to the most expensive places lol.

In NY, even a small cramped, old place in brooklyn is an easy 2.5 million to purchase in a regular neighborhood

A grand theft

Bro wants to be a Knick for life

5’3 Puerto Rican > 7’12 Alien

getting a guy who plays crucial playoff minutes for under 5m a year under the new CBA is absolute robbery

ye idk if jose signs this when he sobers up

Endorsements in NYC should help out a little.

He’s really just a minimum player. I get he’s got a special place in NY but he is what he is.

I mean he averaged 9 minutes in the postseason. Seems about right. 

Wish he could get more from NY, but glad he’s there

He’s a specialist in like a Pat Beverly role. I’m not sure if he really has any significant value.

I mean boy did that commercial work out well for AT&T too with the run the Knicks went on lol, someone in the ad department might have a future in scouting

aint that the truth. god i miss him.

there’s a non-zero chance i’d let Jose impregnate my girlfriend. and there’s a “much closer to 100” percent chance that my girlfriend would let Jose impregnate my girlfriend.

Yeah he is definitely taking a home town discount on this one

Dolan’s “we’re not going in the 2nd apron” trick worked

He probably just wants to be in new York forever

He could’ve gotten more, but I think he wanted a longer contract and continue playing in his hometown.

Dolan will help him Ascend

He’s probably gonna wind up making twice that off the court.

This comment made me feel good

We’re gonna funnel extra monies into monster trucks for him.

Mitch is going to get overpaid by some team and then get injured when they try to play him in a back to back game. 

If the Knicks are truly staying under the second apron there’s really nothing the Knicks feasibly could’ve done to keep Mitch

Probably, Dolan doesnt want to go into the second apron

There is little to no chance of Mitch either way with what he’ll probably get offered

It’s basically the same amount of money we would’ve been giving Jose anyway, so it doesn’t really change the situation w Mitch, but it was unlikely we were gonna be able to afford him regardless

The only way we were ever gonna keep him would be at a discount, which tbh this Jose deal feels like, so the coper in me is telling myself that everyone’s coming back on discount lol

Kawhi money time

This man was just in PR with bad bunny. Someone is gonna give him some 10 million dollar contract for their brand somewhere

I have not seen a single comment that this is a bad deal lol

Dude never has to pay for a bagel or slice of pizza again.  

The Celino and Barnes (rip) and Topdog Law ads themselves will earn him millions.  

And handling the ball during the full court press that was giving Brunson problems

And the double spin to trick Wemby into leaving the paint for a layup

One thing about NYC and LA also is that you can make good money just with local endorsements.

As a pels fan living in the city, I got one as soon as he was traded

In this case I don’t think they really need to do anything. He gets to work in his home city and he was already getting in on commercials before we won. Now he’s got a deal with And1.

*Brooklyn

“Yes his GT degree would probably give him a good enough paying job, but it’s not the same as being paid millions a year.”

Yeah this isnt even something that needs to be brought up, lmao

Dude got to the Knicks and was immediately in an AT&T commercial. 😂
