The Knicks made one of the splashiest signings of the offseason.
On the heels of a breakout season, the Knicks were able to lure Jalen Brunson away from the Mavericks with a four-year, $104 million contract, making the former second-round pick one of the higher-paid point guards in the NBA.
Brunson joins a Knicks core that features rising star RJ Barrett and one-time All-Star Julius Randle. The three of them will be looking to lead New York back to the playoffs in a stacked Eastern Conference.
The new-look Knicks will be put to the test immediately in the 2022-23 season with a matchup against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, who finished last season with the second-best record in the Western Conference.
