It'll be awesome next week when Leon and Rick decide to have a father-son dinner for 4: Leon, his son & Rick and his son. This'll be all on the up and up and super kosher. After dinner, they can all have drinks with the CAA agents who are just casual, mutual friends discussing non business stuff.
If they get Jalen to leave Dallas at around 20 maybe Leon’s star power would be worth it.
rick has an interesting past off court that may give some folks a headache. tommy boy cant let go of his old pals.
Shameless.
Wow. Usually done in college. I wonder what direction we are going?

So long as JJJ and his dad are there, you know it will be a party.

That's smart thinking, just dads and sons having a good old time
Do the Knicks let him go after Jalen re-signs with the Mavs? Or does he make it through December for appearances? Or maybe until he paws one of the Knick City Dancers....

All of them.
Trading up for Ivey. Trading away players to get cap space to sign Bruson. Trading Randle.

Family BBQ. Can also include Tim Hardaway and his son. The father-son pickup game would be a fun watch. I can’t name any other fathers of active NBA players in the Knicks org.
Sources will not confirm or deny Knicks are finalizing a contract with Jalen Brunson’s barber
From January to April 2007, Brunson worked as an assistant coach with the Denver Nuggets, focusing on player development. From 2007 to 2009, he was with the University of Virginia as the Cavaliers' director of basketball operations. In May 2009, Brunson was hired as assistant coach for the Hartford Hawks men's basketball team.[5] On September 9, 2010, Brunson was hired as an assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls.During the 2012–13 season, Brunson served as an assistant coach to Mike Dunlap on the Charlotte Bobcats' staff.[6]
Brunson was also an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2016 to 2018. In May 2018, Brunson resigned amidst allegations made against him regarding misconduct toward women.[7]
Brunson coaches at Camden High School in Camden, New Jersey.
He is Dajuan Wagner Jr.'s head coach. Brunson resigned prior to the 2020–21 season while Camden High was ranked the #7 team in the country,[9] but changed his mind a couple days later and remains the coach.[10]
So he's a development guy (we just lost one of those) whos worked with Thibs before... I dont think helps us sign his kid at all... Who wants to play for their dad? Man I didnt want my old man up my ass in my 20s thats for sure lol

"The elder Brunson was on Thibodeau’s staff in Chicago and Minnesota and was Knicks president Leon Rose’s first client when Brunson played guard for the Knicks from 1998-2000.
One source said Thibodeau, who was hired by the Knicks nearly two years ago, wanted Brunson on his staff from the get-go, but there was concern from some in upper management about his controversial departure from the Timberwolves"
Do not see this as relavent to signing his son.
Why would Brunson want to leave a playoff team with Luka for the Knicks?
Why would he want to leave an environment/system he is successful and familiar with?
Dallas can pay him the most.
Why would Knicks want to give up assets for him? Seems like they want a TRUE difference maker.
1. I see the priorities as signing or replacing Mitch.
2. Draft well.
3. Pickup back up PG or Center in FA.
Do not see Randle being traded, sign and trade for Brunson.
