Brunson signed with the Knicks on a four-year, $104 million deal. Even before the free agent signing period began, it was well known that the Knicks were heavy favorites to land Brunson. Even as free agency began, he turned down a meeting with his former team -- the Dallas Mavericks -- and signed the rich deal with New York.
