Put yourself in Jalen Brunson's shoes, would you go ahead and sign a four-year, $156.5 million contract extension with the New York Knicks this summer or would you wait until you become a restricted free agent in 2025 and would be eligible to bring home a contract valued over $270 million?

The first-time All-Star is not expected to jump on it despite reports he is open to discuss this summer, according to Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz.

“Waiting until 2025 when he can become an unrestricted free agent would be far more lucrative for Brunson, who made just $6.1 million over his first four seasons after being selected in the second round by the Mavs.

Brunson will be able to sign for 30 percent of the 2025-26 salary cap that could reach as high as $155.1 million, according to Spotrac.com. This would mean a first-year salary of $46.5 million and a total contract of over $270 million overall,” Swartz wrote on April 7.
