The New York Knicksgot a lot better last season, and a lot of that had to do with them stealing Jalen Brunson away from the Dallas Mavericks. As weâve seen in the NBA before, a minor move could have a major impact.
Brunson wasnât only the best player the Knicks had on the floor last season. He was also the leader, and one of the reasons why theyâre optimistic about their future.
Nonetheless, as good as heâs been, the rumors about them pursuing Donovan Mitchell havenât ceased in over a year. Thatâs why he had no choice but to share his thoughts on the matter.
Jalen Brunson Reacts To The Donovan Mitchell Rumors
âItâs impossible not to see things â rumors and all the stuff that comes up on Twitter and all that stuff every single day is always on TV,â Brunson told The Athletic.
âThereâs always possibilities when you hear about that stuff. Donovan is a good friend of mine for a while,â he added. âWe were in the same high school class, our relationship goes back a long way. I think right now, Iâm more than happy with my guys, and I love my teammates.â
