to free up approximately $9 million in salary cap space. As part of the deal with the Pistons, the Knicks received the Bucks’ first-round pick in 2025.
Instead of Ivey, the Knicks began to put themselves in position to land Brunson, the former Villanova star who had a breakout season with the Mavericks. The Post’s Marc Berman previously reported the Knicks’ plan was to make a run at the pending free agent with the hope he would be the solution to their long search for a point guard and a difference-maker alongside RJ Barrett in the backcourt.
Dallas owner Mark Cuban has said he wants to keep Brunson, pointing out the Mavericks can pay him more than other teams. Follow the New York Post’s live tracker for up-to-the-minute coverage and analysis of the 2022 NBA Draft picks.
