Momentum appears to be building. With the free-agency period nearing, the Knicks seem to be in great shape to land Jalen Brunson of the Mavericks.
The ties with Brunson to the Knicks are endless. Team president Leon Rose is his former agent, and Rose’s son Sam is his current rep. The Knicks recently hired his father Rick to join coach Tom Thibodeau’s staff, and Brunson knows Thibodeau and guard Derrick Rose well, from his time growing up in Illinois when both were with the Bulls and Rick was an assistant under Thibodeau. In fact, Derrick Rose was a mentor for a young Brunson, his high school coach Pat Ambrose previously told The Post.
On top of all those bonds, Brunson grew up in the area in southern New Jersey up until the sixth grade and still owns a home on the Jersey Shore. He returned to the northeast for college at Villanova. Brunson has won at every level. He helped Villanova win two national championships, contributed to the Mavericks’ run to the Western finals this year and was a McDonald’s All-American in high school. He led Team USA’s U-19 team to the World Cup title in 2015 and was the MVP of the tournament.
The Knicks cleared money on draft night by trading out of the first round and sending Kemba Walker to the Pistons, creating roughly $14 million of cap space.
