Knicks receive amazing news. We have some amazing news to discuss. Let's first start with Josh Hart. We all know he's extension eligible very soon. And according to the latest rumors, he's expected to accept a team-friendly deal. Take a look at this.
According to Evan Cederde on the AppX, he states the following, Josh Hart becomes eligible to sign a four-year extension with the Knicks on August 10th. Josh Hart is expected to take a team-friendly figure to continue maximizing New York's title window as defending champions.
This is amazing news. Josh Hart taking a team-friendly deal so he can stay with the Knicks and help New York win more championships? That's what it's all about. You can sign me up for that every single day. The next piece of good news that we have to discuss has to deal with the captain, Jalen Brunson. He's already back in the gym and he just had surgery.
Shout out to basketnews.com for giving us this following information. According to them, shortly after the New York Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years, Jalen Brunson underwent left wrist surgery. Less than a month later, in his own words, he's already back at it. According to JB, during Fanatics Fest, he stated the following, I'm already back at it. I'm back at it. I'm already in the gym. I'm doing whatever I can to make sure I'm good.
Once this cast is off, this man is incredible. I can't believe what I just heard. He's already in the gym?
He just got wrist surgery.
How is he back in the gym already? And you know why he's there? He's pushing himself. He wants to be ready for when that cast comes off so he can go straight into training camp without any obstacles. Or at least fewer obstacles. Why is he doing this? Because he's the captain. He's the leader of this Knicks team. And when you have that role and that responsibility, it's up to you to make decisions like this. And that's exactly what he's doing. I could not be prouder to call Jalen Brunson the captain of the Knicks. Now we talked about Josh Hart and his extension coming up. Now let's talk about Deuce McBride, who's already extension eligible. Recently, he spoke about what it means to getting another contract with the Knicks and why he wants to be part of the team. Take a look at what he had to say.
Shout out to New York Basketball on the AppX and Knicks Film School for giving us this following information. According to Jonathan Macri, he stated the following. He asked Deuce McBride this question. You're extension eligible. You're currently the longest tenured Knick.
McBride said that's crazy. Then Macri said, how much would it mean to you to be a Knick for the foreseeable future? And Deuce McBride gave the following response. Man, I would love it. When I came to New York, I didn't know anything about it. I knew it was a fast-paced environment. I came here on an AAU trip when I was like 16, and I couldn't stand the city. I stayed in Chinatown. We played at Basketball City, and I couldn't stand it. Then I came up here. Like I said, I see somebody wearing my jersey from West Virginia, and man, to sign that first contract extension. I loved it, and I just feel like I want to be here. I feel like I've earned it. I've put in a lot of work. Not just this year. You know, the whole organization knew what I was dealing with this playoffs. Just playing, you know, through injury, through a difficult injury.
Everything you do is through your core, through your groin, through your hips. And I just want to stay here. Hopefully, we come to some type of agreement. I don't know what's going to happen with Deuce McBride, but honestly, I hope he stays with the Knicks. I hope he gets a team-friendly contract with New York. He takes it, and he signs it. Now, let's move on to how the NBA robbed the Knicks once again.
Let's show it all, folks.
As you can see, the NBA 2K cover did not go to Jalen Brunson, did not go to the Knicks. It went to one of the dirtiest players in the game, a loser, somebody who did not win the championship, but instead, lost to the Knicks in 5
