Jalen Brunson, De’Aaron Fox Named NBA Players Of Week 4

The NBA has announced their winners for week 4 of the NBA season, and these two players deserve it for the performances they put on.

De’Aaron Fox balled out averaging 32.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. Not a bad way to get back into the flow of the season after some time off due to injury.

Jalen Brunson, while not coming back from injury, continues to show the world why New York went after him and left Dallas. He averaged 28.5 points and 6.5 assists last week.

Tampering could be charged against the Knicks after the NBA has deemed their signing of Jalen Brunson to be just that. Brunson quickly signed New York, breaking news began an hour before free agency officially began, as that had some heads turning.

When news broke, the NBA World started to question and call the Knicks cheaters, and such as people thought this was tampering. Now, the National Basketball Association is opening an investigation into the signing of Jalen Brunson to see if there were any tampering involved.

Brunson has ties to the Knicks, on multiple ends. His father is an assistant coach for the Knicks and Leon Rose has been a lifelong friend of Brunson. Plus, Rose’s son, Sam Rose, is the agent of Jalen Brunson. Those are three key players that have the biggest voice for the young player to join New York.

On the opening day of free agency, New York signed Brunson to a four-year, $104 million dollar deal.

The Mavericks didn’t even get a chance to offer Brunson a deal, despite them having a chance when he was on the team, as Brunson made up his mind. Rumors have speculated into reports now with Shams reporting that Jalen Brunson will sign with the Knicks on a four-year deal.

The contract is set for four-years, near $110 million dollars. Something the Mavericks were not giving him early on before he decided to end his time with the team.

This comes after reports surfaced that he cancelled his scheduled meeting with Dallas for tonight; at that point, all the signs were pointing towards Brunson heading to New York.

New York has been making trades, clearing cap space, and adjusting to make room for the former Maverick. Brunson is coming off an incredible season and postseason that sent him to being one of the top guys that postseason before their exit.

We will report this officially when Free Agency opens at 6 EST.
