The New York Knicks reportedly got their main free agent target once the offseason officially kicked off Thursday night.
The Knicks and guard Jalen Brunson agreed to a four-year deal worth just over $106 million, according to multiple reports.
The Athletic reported Brunson’s former team, the Dallas Mavericks, didn’t receive a chance to make an offer before the guard decided to sign with the Knicks.
Brunson will be reunited with his former agent, Knicks general manager Leon Rose, according to the New York Post.

The expectation is that he will help vault New York back to the playoffs.
Brunson, whose father Rick Brunson recently became an assistant coach for the Knicks, was a second-round pick by the Mavericks in 2018. The Villanova product got a chance to start in 61 games last season and averaged 16.3 points, 4.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds
Former longtime NBA scout Michael Vandegarde described the Knicks’ draft picks as "really interesting" but was more skeptical about pursuing Brunson.
