2024 NBA Free Agency Thread

I have earlier suggested Lauri could be the kinda guy to do what Brunson just did. If I was Lauri, I'd offer to take less money in the terms of him having the chance to choose from the possible top three offers Jazz is getting, in case he will be shipped sometimes in the future. If such terms can't be negotiated, then ofc, aim for the max. Love what Brunson did here! Thinking about team building
 
Also, and what cap hit did LeBron not take? Like 500K? lmao. Dude's a billionaire and still screws over the Lakers (not that I care cause **** the Lakers).
 
Im sure Brunson taking less money has nothing to do with CAA/NY/Brunson Family connections and there is nothing shady going on...

And IMO this should not be celebrated and is a bad thing. The balance and fairness of the league kind of depends on max players getting their max money.

I will always celebrate unselfishness and people who put things over money on their priority list. Sorry

IDK but I'm sure it's much easier for a player to take less money when they already came a wealthy family from even just a relationship to money standpoint.

Rick Brunson would have to do something impressively illegal to get fired while Jalen is balling as well

1000%. I dont see this as good at all and I dont believe for 1 sec dude is walking away from that money. He's just not getting it from the Knicks directly each year as an NBA basketball player. No one is give back $100m + to a for profit organization. Come on yall

I think there is a chance that he actually does like the feeling of winning more than the feeling of extra millions sitting in his bank account.

Most NBA players come from wealthy families nowadays.
