The New York Knicks have been adamant about defending the promotion of Rick Brunson, a father of star guard Jalen Brunson, to be their lead assistant coach. The team maintains innocence and feels this is an unwarranted harassment from the NBA through its investigation.
According to the reports, the NBA is checking in with Rick Brunson’s promotion timing; therefore, possible salary-cap circumvention is just what the Knicks say about. Brunson is however a well-established coach with plenty of experience. In the past, he had served as an assistant coach for Denver Nuggets, Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and even the Knicks.
The controversy surrounding the Knicks signing Jalen Brunson last offseason also drew a penalty with a second-round draft pick for tampering. Now, this promotion of Rick Brunson will attract further scrutiny for the Knicks’ offseason moves.
Despite the probe, optimism regarding their season does not dwindle; Jalen Brunson will be the source of their success. The last two seasons have been impressive for the Knicks team with back-to-back playoff terms-an indicator that has revived hope in the fans.
