This is one of the two or three best teams in the conference. We could very well end up in the finals. I'm not saying it's likely, but it's very possible. Losing Brunson now would be a huge step backwards and would set us back multiple seasons. Pay him now, worry about the financial implications later.

I agree. And I like Brunson and think he's apart of this teams future but if this front office decided he wasn't....that's fine. But I really hope they also believe that they don't have much trade assets to improve this team. When a player becomes available I'd rather have a even overpriced Brunson to bargain with as opposed to hoping someone takes on Hardaway Jr's contract. He can't walk to the Knicks for nothing.
