Every year we hear this “I’d be willing to take less money to play for X team” from some free agent, and they always end up signing for the biggest contract available, usually with the team they were just with. It’s all about creating leverage to get that bag, but people fall for it every time.

Platos-ghosts | Celtics

Brunson took the safe extension instead of waiting a year. He did not take less to help the team, but instead to lock in a deal. This was not charity.

Alternative-Farmer98

24 | 20 hours ago

Yes, there are some crazy mythologizing about Brunson’s deal.

Not only did he not give up 110 million, he gave up like 30 million, but he also becomes a free agent two years sooner when he’s eligible for 35% of the salary cap.

He made the best decision for his financial self-interest in the long term, and it had nothing to do with giving the knicks a break.

His career earnings are going to be way higher because of this deal than they would have been if he took the five-year deal and even then he wouldn’t have been able to take it till after the following season.

But it’s now written in ink that he gave up $110 million to win its title.lol

inqte1

8 | 15 hours ago

I know the whole thing was spun way out of proportion but the way they rationalize it is by saying if suffered a career ending injury, he loses out on that extra money. So the correct way to phrase it would be that he gambled with $30m that he doesnt suffer a career ending injury in the next couple of years while also allowing the team to be better in the present. But that doesnt sound as heroic to one of the biggest media markets in the country.

Takemyfishplease | Lakers

Gambling $30m also doesn’t seem super crazy when you’ve already made generational wealth, and are still signed to a massive deal.

It’s not like he either wins or goes home with nothing.

When are Knicks fans going to come to a consensus on whether Brunson took less money?

Not to put it on you but, I see Knicks fans argue both sides of this all the time. When it’s a cool conversation about how taking less helps winning, Brunson took less. When its a conversation about how taking less devalues players and just helps billionaires, then Brunson never took less and simply extended early because he was worried about injury.

donavid | Knicks

13 | 21 hours ago

Brunson took the max available at the time. I feel like I have to correct people when they said he’s the greatest ever bc he took a discount, because folks in the subreddit are now saying KAT should follow in his footsteps and renegotiate his contract and take less money so we can stay under the second apron. Now the narrative is about how JB is selfless and other players are greedy assholes for not being like him….meanwhile is not true.

JB is already a Knicks legend, there’s no need to beef up his story.

I don’t know to what extent it can work. If LeBron takes up even 20m in cap the Lakers for sure aren’t going to be a championship team absent some real surprises. Might Bron not care about another ring if he can get paid? Sure, but I think he absolutely cares about his legacy.

UntilDoncic | Lakers

I can settle this for you - LeBron isn’t taking less than 30M minimum to play anywhere.

zannet_t

37 | 21 hours ago

You’re not settling this for anyone lol he could be worth 100m commercially and he will not be getting 30m anywhere. Name me a team, what they need to do to clear the cap, and tell me it makes sense for them to do that for Bron.

And if the Lakers give him 30m the entire FO should be fired into the sun.

UntilDoncic | Lakers

36 | 21 hours ago

The Lakers will pay him 30m because they think that’s what he’s worth, and would rather have him than not have him. They would rather pay him more to keep him than have another team pay him less and lose him.

But hey, I would love to be wrong about it lol

zannet_t

18 | 21 hours ago

30m would absolutely torch this team’s chances. There’d be less cap to play with than last year, and we were already not contenders.

If the FO wants to win and the only way LeBron stays is with 30m, the team should move on and give itself a chance.

Edit - The people down voting this are as allergic to facts as Kyrie and Jaylen. You all fundamentally don’t have a clue how basic transactions work in the NBA

LeBron’s days of getting a large contract likely died last year when the Lakers didn’t re-up his 1+1s. The only team that can pay him what his fans think he’s worth is the Lakers. They’re in the Luka business now.

Desperate-Hat-2510

Fantastic

Desperate-Hat-2510

6 | 19 hours ago

the offseason just started—teams can create space to sign LeBron if they want him and he shows interest. teams pay picks to jettison salary to open up space all the time. My cap understanding might be off, but I imagine there’s sign and trade possibilites as well. Sure, the Lakers would have to play ball for that, but it’s clear they’re not totally hung up on bringing LeBron back at all costs

regardless, I think it’s weird how a lot of Lakers and general NBA fans are like “LeBron needs to put his ego aside and sign for what he’s worth” as if he doesn’t have a pretty high level of production still, no player at his level regardless of name or age is getting MLE money lol

Windhorst has been such a slob for years yet my doctor insists I’m on a fast track to death. They could hide three of me inside that eggplant suit. Shenanigans.

They’re giving you the side eye because you’re whistling the chorus to Nickelback songs in 2026, Windy

There’s still a lot of moves that have to be made today or free agency is going to be wild.

i believe him because an AD trade for the wizards makes no sense. i doubt the warriors are going to give them picks for it to be worth it and the wizards aren’t going to take back scraps just because

I’m not sure how much leverage Davis has with Washington. If they don’t sign him to an extension, so what? He’s still under contract for the upcoming season, so they could hang on to him at least until the trade deadline.

Definition of a man yappin. For those that didn’t actually watch, he just says “It could not happen… or it could happen. Anything is possible”

I watched First Take for the first time in YEARS and it was interesting to see him with such grounded takes when typically you get such sensationalism from media these days.

Not absolving him of past deeds, but it almost felt like his ESPN co-hosts was pushing for him to gossip / speculate a bit more than usual this AM.

Lebron please don’t do this. Please. Go back to Cleveland. Perfect ending. If you get harden and Mitchell a ring, you’re the goat. 5th ring, tying Kobe and surpassing curry. Please don’t join Steph. Be friends after. Go golfing after you’re done. Not now. Please not now.

Well he was wrong

[Windhorst] “The people on the league I’m talking to today are giving me the side eye and they’re going, this is going end up with Draymond getting a new contract in GS, LeBron getting a new contract in LA and AD getting a new contract in Washington.”
