There were rumors of the the Knicks going hard for Brunson long before FA started like the summer before.
You won't get any FO apologists around here, but to act like Brunson wasn't a bad actor in one of the biggest and most obvious tamperings in NBA history is silly. He is saying newspaper stuff to make him sound like the good guy. I'm fine with that, but he still wanted to be a Knick with him being THE pg at the end of the day.
The bigger crime was letting an asset like that walk for nothing. That's on Donnie Nelson for structuring that contract.
