Jalen Brunson took $113 million less in his extension with the New York Knicks than he could have gotten by re-signing next summer, a significant sacrifice that benefits the Knicks. Some believe this could start a trend.

The new CBA rules, especially those around the second apron, helped control spending this summer, with teams treating the second apron like a hard cap.

This shift forced teams to prioritize spending differently. Brunson’s decision may set a precedent, potentially encouraging other star players to accept less money for roster-building flexibility.
