This is when Jalen Brunson’s financial sacrifice starts to reap benefits for the Knicks.
The point guard’s team-friendly contract extension kicks in next season with a salary of less than $35 million.
If he had waited until free agency this summer, Brunson could’ve signed a deal that started at roughly $46.5 million.
That’s a cut of about $11.5 million in just the first year.
