“First of all, let’s make something clear. Jalen didn’t pass up anything with the Knicks, okay? Jalen won big time by showing his commitment and his leadership towards him having the desire to bring in more players to open up the portal for more players to come through who want to be a part of that system that they’re building so that they can win an NBA championship. Him doing that — if I’m a company in New York City and I’m looking at what he just now did, I’m at his door knocking at his door to see if I can work with him. “This selfless act has actually propelled him and has put him in a situation from my perspective, put him in a space that is in a space of his own because everyone knows that New York usually overpays players from different perspectives. Now, you have a guy who people feel like he’s been given the short end of the stick, but then they won’t see it now; they’ll see it later because they won’t see the work that you put in before you get on the court. They only see the results. So, I think this move is brilliant. I think it was calculated. -via ScoopB.com / September 9, 2024
