00:00So you have got to be kidding me that you just got this across the spew newsroom desk
00:09and you're going to break this story and I am I'm having heart palpitations mafia get
00:14my pills in in what this is straight from the tweet from roads by the way largely unprecedented
00:22financial concession to give roster flexibility to a contender the Knicks and Jalen Brunson
00:29have agreed to a four-year 156.5 million dollar extension that is a hundred and thirteen million
00:36dollars less guaranteed than he's eligible to receive which would have been in one year
00:42so one year from now Scotty he could have got a hundred thirteen more it says here the
00:47repercussions of him choosing it now are massive for the Knicks ability to keep this current
00:52team together and keep making roster moves to close the gap on a championship the deal
00:58will cost Brunson thirty seven point one over the next three years comes with a fourth
01:04year player option that would set up Brunson to recoup the rest of the hundred thirteen
01:09million on a four-year three hundred twenty three million dollar extension in 2028 so
01:15I guess he'll eventually Scotty get it down the road but he ain't getting it now so that's
01:22but look some people say a hundred and we talked about this the other day 150 is a lot
01:27of money but when you're leaving a hundred and thirteen off the table man that's a lot
01:32of money too I'll tell you what I mean I don't know anything about this other than being
01:39nice or whatever he's doing or giving them flexibility what I would have demanded in
01:45that deal is the end of it at the end of the deal I get this money no matter what and I
01:52also want no trade clause I want if I'm giving you all this money what are you giving me it
02:00sounds like they gave him none of that they gave him an option in that fourth year from
02:05what I'm hearing just right out of your mouth this is how I'm seeing it for the first time
02:09I almost fell over so what am I getting out of this other than giving away a hundred and
02:16thirteen million dollars well is he the new GM at a team like does he get power for now
02:24running their finances so they can go get other players so he gave up all that money
02:30so they can go spend money on other players well what the F do I get out of this I want
02:37guarantees no trade and I'm getting the money back at the back end one way or the other
02:42in four years now remember everyone thinks they're a hot commodity and a hot tamale until
02:51they're not like four years from now he may not even be the same player he is today he's
02:57had injuries broken hands everything else what's he gonna be like after banging for
03:02the Knicks for four years at the garden when he has the ball 90% of the time what kind
03:08of a beating is he gonna say he already takes a beating he already gets hammered and he's
03:14a little dude I won't deny he's a badass and he's got some puffy combs on him he's
03:20got like a little belly and he's got like a little muscle I won't deny but do you think
03:26in four years he'll be standing as though he were standing today I think the wear and
03:30tear of four years in the NBA is gonna show poorly on him and then he'll never get that
03:35that he thinks he's gonna get famous last words I'm getting all this money later I don't know
03:41anything about later I know what later is later is you're you're in love with her now but you
03:46won't be in four years okay in four years she'll hate your guts I don't know anything about being
03:52nice and giving money back and like being the the good guy what is that it's way more fun being the
03:59bad guy and taking all the money he's 27 now so you know you figure four years from now be 31
04:08um look you could say this with any guy in the league you got to avoid injuries and you'll and
04:15you'll get another payday I mean you could say that about a nice last word famous last words
04:20indeed I mean I wouldn't have probably waited for the extra hundred and thirteen I got five
04:28left you name me one guy that does this that turns down that much money to help everyone else
04:37get paid I've never in my life honestly I don't understand this move at all like I get it I
04:46understand that the synopsis of it I get why he's doing it fair enough I just think it's a bad
04:52decision the the only guy that really comes to the top of my head in the last 25 years I'm ready
05:00took exactly took significantly less money than he was worse and was never the highest paid quarterback
05:07in the NFL even though he should have been was Brady and they always lauded Brady for always
05:13taking less so that they could spread it out throughout the team and always taking what he's
05:17the only guy I could say to always took less money for the team to be better and then he got
05:23paid on the back end right then he didn't take then when he went to Tampa's when he said I'm
05:27cashing in now I'm not being a little guy anymore he also got seven rings out of it and incorrect
05:35like he has different he's he is set for life that guy will never pay for a meal in his life
05:42then he got a 350 million dollar broadcasting job never called a game never did anything they
05:48just handed him that he left it got a divorce with his supermodel smoke show wife and then in
05:55five minutes was already lining up hotties to be with him that guy's set for life when you have
06:02seven Super Bowl rings and you're Tom Brady you're set for life when you're Jalen Brunson what does
06:08he have in the NBA besides nothing like he is a really great player but believe me you I am sorry
06:14he is no Tom Brady oh I don't disagree with you the level of Tom Brady and Jalen Brunson is not
06:23the same in terms of their impact on the sport I'm just saying who's giving advice to give this
06:31money back like he's worth three he's worth 296 right now they paid Tatum and Brown 300 plus
06:38million dollars and you're telling me that this guy should take a hundred and thirteen million
06:44dollar basically pay cut for who like are you kidding me do you know how much money that Dolan
06:51has he makes more money off of that sphere in Las Vegas then all people in the world may combined
06:58honestly it is like they have $38 tacos in that place I mean he doesn't need your help
07:07that guy just gave the devil a hundred and thirteen million dollars but Dolan you know
07:13what he's one of the shrewdest businessmen in New York and I guarantee he's going out to dinner
07:18tonight let's say they this allows them to add one more guy right now they just added bridges so
07:33if you added one more guy to everything that they already have and they end up somehow and I'm not
07:40saying it's gonna happen but let's say they win a championship add another guy and then it puts
07:44them over the top and they win a title is it worth it then maybe yes it is but not when it never
07:53happens they can't beat right Celtics to save their ass in a series right now with what they
07:59have and who are they gonna have they already got a team completely stacked and loaded the only guy
08:05that I would want right now that I've heard all these rumors that they're interested in if I could
08:11get my hands on Shungun I would do it but that's a whole another kitten caboodle my man Shungun is
08:19worth he's worth a big bag now too they can't give him a big bag I heard that the other day why would
08:25the Rockets want to get rid of him he but I don't understand like he actually became a big-time player
08:32for them this year well they're also the Rockets gonna get with this money to put them over the top
08:45you even heard I gotta go through us you heard Kincaid Philly thinks they can beat the Knicks
08:51ass yeah with Paul George everyone can beat the Knicks when is the last time the Knicks won a
08:57title they haven't sniffed a title since Spike Lee was in his mother's womb it's been a long
09:04time long time indeed we'll finish the baseball the money remember that this is finance 101
