The Dallas Mavericks have been informed that guard Jalen Brunson intends to sign with the New York Knicks in free agency, sources told ESPN.
A meeting with the Mavs scheduled to be held soon after the opening was free agency on Thursday evening was canceled in the afternoon, sources confirmed, as Brunson had made up his mind to commit to the Knicks.
New York is expected to offer Brunson a four-year contract in the range of $110 million, sources said. NBA reporter Marc Stein first reported that the meeting with Dallas had been called off.
Brunson's departure from the Dallas to New York has been widely anticipated for days, as the Knicks made a more lucrative offer to play a larger role for a franchise that has deep family ties, including the recent addition of his father, Rick Brunson, as an assistant coach.
