New York Knicks forward Josh Hart took exception to Draymond Green's critique of Jalen Brunson, who received plaudits for his financial sacrifice to help his team win this year's NBA championship.
Brunson left $113 million on the table when he signed a contract extension in July 2024 to give the Knicks more flexibility to build a stronger team around him. During a recent episode of the Club 520 podcast, Green thinks that a player of Brunson's caliber shouldn't have taken a discount
"It's the New York Knicks, bro. They can afford it. You ain't got to take no discount for them to get paid… He the top guy. Let Josh Hart or somebody else take less. They in my role. I don't know what he doing. That's $100 million," Green explained.
