Jalen Brunson, a key player for the New York Knicks, is considering taking a smaller contract to help his team improve and compete for a championship.
This means he would earn less money now but could potentially earn more in the future if he waits to sign a longer, more expensive contract.
Brunson's decision is driven by his desire to stay with the Knicks and his belief that a lower salary would allow the team to sign other talented players.
The Knicks are hoping to build a strong team around Brunson, with the goal of winning their first championship since 1973.
