Jalen Brunson Signs Lucrative Contract with Dallas Mavericks
Unrestricted Free Agent Chooses Mavericks Over Knicks
Details of Brunson's Contract
Jalen Brunson, an unrestricted free agent, has inked a four-year, $61.127 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks. The deal includes a signing bonus of $4.310 million. Brunson's annual salary will be around $15.281 million, making him the 53rd best-paid NBA player this season. This represents a significant increase from his previous contract, where he was ranked as the 50th best-paid player.
Brunson's rookie contract with the Mavericks was non-guaranteed for the fourth season, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer. Despite speculation that he would sign with the New York Knicks due to his close ties to the city, Brunson ultimately chose to remain in Dallas.
Brunson was selected by the Mavericks with the No. 33 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. He has quickly established himself as a valuable contributor, averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game last season. Brunson's signing is a significant boost for the Mavericks, as they look to build on their Western Conference Finals appearance from last season.
