How Should Jalen Brunson Handle his Next Contract with the Knicks? | THE ODD COUPLE 

Don't gamble especially when you are short and drive to the basket a lot and take a lot of body shots. Sign the extension, play it safe. Isaiah Thomas people.

Rob got everything to do but focus on Chris and the Conversation

He needs to sign the first big contract that is offered like Daniel Jones. The falloff could be swift.

You guys were one of my favorite shows but the bias against nyk is nasty work

How much you wanna bet IF JB leaves the Knicks these two would AUTOMATICALLY call him a superstar.

Not much to discuss SUPERMAX & not a dollar less

I'm really torn up about how he handles his next contract and how much more millions he'll make.... i'm tossing and turning all night.

Cant use IT. It wasnt the fact that he got injured. It was the fact that he still trued to play and the team let him play and he made it much worse and they cut their losses then. Gettimg hurt wasnt the reason it was trying to play thru it.

Why did they not just compare average yearly salary? Brou out here doing algebra trying to solve for X haha.

I’d absolutely take the money right away because once you’ve hit a 100 million you’re 1000% set for life can do anything you want so gambling on “maybe” getting more the next year I think would be insane. Especially when you factor in his size , style of play, etc

People just being greedy now. There’s nothing I wouldn’t be able to do at 140mil , if I had 270mil instead. Isaiah Thomas can happen , Dennis schroder… just take the money and if you play solid for 3 years you’ll get another decent contract

As a Knick fan I'm perfectly fine with JB on the 2nd team

2:40 SAS said he would take out Luka and out Brunson there which is dumb. Luka is no.1 scorer in league, no.2 assists and no.3 in MVP Brunson gotta take bag. Remember boogie cousins was about to get paid by kings, traded to pelicans got injured and never got that bag. John wall secured max dollars and then he had Achilles injury, career never been the same.

They spend more time and energy discrediting/damping Brunson’s name than actually applauding him for how he’s played since his first real playoff run in Dallas

Take THE MONEY

These dudes are stuoid. Twke the 4 yr extension NOW. Make it up in New York Endirsements but you sign now. I think about Boogie Cousins and isaiah thomas., New a Orleans was gave boogie and offer extension, didnt take jt, got hurt...Take the 154, then get another 154 or more maybe. Either way its 300 mill plus.

Brunson is better than Tatum Chris Tatum wouldn’t have got the knicks out the first round with his play this postseason Tatum needs a great supporting cast

Rob your a Hypocrite, if JB has a bad season you will be the 1st guy calling for the Nicks not to give him a max contract.

Don’t stop at those numbers keep going ft percentage 3pt seeding and help

Super max and the Knick’s will gladly give it to him

It depends. If the team told me specifically we were going to sign some sort of big free agent like lebron or PG i would consider it.

"The so many things can happen" Argument is equally applied in this scenario. Waiting one extra year for an extra $100 million when you've already got $100 in front of you on the plate is crazy. It could be the smallest move. We're not even talking about one of the hard fouls that messes up one of his lower body extremities or that weird hand thing he's got going on. And now, instead of the 156 pretty much ballpark guaranteed, you're either looking to be traded or significantly dropped to like 80 or so million, maybe less. This is the other thing too. You're in a market that is arguably the financial capital of the world, Relatively speaking. You mean to tell me that you couldn't work with a bunch of those courtside and owner suite mega millionaires to link up with some business and investing advice to take you to a billion dollars?

There’s nothing to handle, he’s gonna get a supermax because he’s a supermax player lol

Hindsight is always 20/20. Yeah, he gets injured and we're all screaming, WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE CONTRACT??? But the difference in money is HUGE! Brunson is a gritty player, but will he be able to get another max at 33? I can understand going either way, but if it were me (easy to say, it ain't my money), I'd make the assumption that at 33, I'm not getting another max and I'd want all of my money I'm capable of getting, especially with the new media deal the NBA is signing.

He HAS to take the money. At the very least sign a 2 year deal (or 1&1) so you can be set financially & gamble on being able to get another deal later

Like Kemba and Isaiah Thomas, he won't last long as a little guard in the league.

Remember when Dennis turned down the lakers deal

It’s not about numbers. Brunson carried that team on his back Even a blind man could 👀

As the saying goes, "A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush". I'd sign the first extension and wouldn't gamble on maybe, perhaps getting the second. Nice problem to have though.

Which exec would take Brunson in a draft over ANY player in 1st 2nd or 3rd team? And no one with a brain is saying Brunson is better than Giannis.

I’m waiting the extra year. He ain’t broke. Take the risk.

Could he buy a Loyds of London insurance policy ?.

I am so shocked at both their views on assessing Brunson. This must have something to do with ownership and Dolan because I know Chris and he is a respectful dude to be so biased and narrow in assessing Brunson only makes me think he is attempting to lower Knicks stock in protest to msg media history. It’s just sad that a good kid has to be discredited to make there protest. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Bron should’ve been second team over Kawhi. Jaylen Brown should’ve made third team over Booker

If they make it to the ECF next year, yes. Anything less than that F-No!!!!!

If he gets hurt he gets no contract. To much risk. Sign the extension and you are still set for life if its his last contract.

How Chris said he had Mitchell if he didn’t play enough games ??

Jalen should clean house and bring in **his** coach... like Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland!

don't forget demarcus cousins

Wait am i miss remembering Bynum.. did he get paid not to play

Its sad how quick Kemba Walker fell off after signing his big contract with the Celtics just a few years ago.

How tf did kawaii Leonard make the 2n team?!

Stephen A actually said he will take luka off the first team and put jalen brunson there. 😂

Nyc is gonna tax brunson hard. Id probably take the 4 yr and put it to work outside nyc. Yes Thibs wears players out. Luol Deng.

This knicks for clicks has got to stop these 2 clowns hate the knicks but talking about them 3x a week don't worry about jalen

Brunson: I‘m All NBA now, I want 300 million, I‘m better than Jaylen Brown

If you are an alumni, booster, famous actor, President, VP etc and you have kids in said field, no matter if your kid is ready or not….you getting them in the door bottom line!!

Brunson is a All-star, but he's not a Max

Yall crazy, yall sounding like rich folks. He need to take that money now

Brunson to the sixers next year

Cause yall haters Brunson got 37 first team votes to the 3 n 4 the other got

He not worth 270 🛑 🛑 it

Such a hard decision so many millions. 😅

Broussard salty as all hell cuz JB is not on the Bulls....

Chris reminds you every day he’s a voter 🤦🏿

Good thing all of this is subjective because these two are inconsistent.

Jason Tatum never played as good as Brunson did in the playoffs and never lost Jaylen Brown for extended period of time so I've Brunson ahead of Tatum

Love Steph hate lebron those 2 shouldn’t have made the team💯paolo brown fox zion should have been juggling for those 2 spots

Need Nick Wright to come on the show and cut Chris off!

These nba globetrotters ain't worth millions

Knicks for Clicks.

You are taking Jason Tatum off first team.

HES BETTER CAUSE HE DID IT ALONE GIANNIS HAD DAME LET GIANNIS GET TO THE SECOND SEED WITH BENCH PLAYERS NOT HAPPENING

These dudes is old bro

Both washed up hacks
