I don’t think highly of him but I’m not sure how his role constitutes a scandal

Jalen Brunson can speak on this. He took a massive pay cut so the Knicks could sign players to improve. That being KAT…

That’s out of his control. He did his part.

Any consensus #1 players coming out in this draft. Maybe a team could be willing to take an expiring contract to move on from some aging contracts so they can coincidently land the #1 pick.

Did they get a eastern conference championship participation trophy for that? This is a better example of why you shouldn't take a pay cut.

How much of that is he paying in taxes?

ETA: Not trying to make it political just honestly curious.

Assuming no tax mitigation?

Around 37% federal and 13.3% California State income tax. Over 1 million in California means an extra 1% over 12.3

There's also property and local city taxes of some sort.

So you are saying you would trade a couple of bad players for a good player to get worse?
