Damn, props to Andy. Not a lot of youtubers have the cojones to post about corruption and tampering in the modern NBA.
He won’t get into rigging though 😉
Doesn't the whole thing run on the same principle?!
This video did not uncover anything we already didn't know.
"He will either succeed or not succeed" ... Really? Did he just include that in the video?
Brunson has the Father, the Son, and the holy Woj spirit to thank for that contract 🙏 praise Rick Brunson, for his only son has now ascended into the Kingdom of MSG
You say that like the NBA is gonna send secret agent assassins to his house.
Literally numerous CZcamsrs has done it lmaoo it's not that rare
It seems like a player needs one good season for general managers to throw some of these guys max contracts which could be detrimental if they don’t live up the expectations
Tbh it’s been like that for a while, Ben Gordon had 1-2 good playoff runs pistons threw him a bag and we never heard from him again. Teams seem to never learn.
LMAO 🤣
IMAGINE BEING THIS MUCH OF A CASUAL THINKING HE ONLY PLAYED WELL LAST YEAR !!!
CASUAL 📢⚠️🚨ALERT

Detrimental to who? Nba contracts are so messed up right now and has been FOR AWHILE guys aren’t paid on potential anymore they’re signed on what they did in the past season.
Notice how ppl ONLY mention what a player did last season when discussing 80% of nba contracts. No one talks about upside, or what caused that one year.
Kudos to Duncan, Kobe abd Nowitzki for staying loyal in an age of modern free agency. Curry, Thompson and Green will be there as well.
Hopefully Giannis to in the years to come 🙏
No reasons to leave and Kobe requested for a trade
@@misaelviera6886 to be fair Kobe didn’t do it for money. He did it because he thought the Lakers weren’t going to compete anymore.
@@SpiegelmanSzn the same reason why most players ask for a trade ;)
@@misaelviera6886 when, is that when he made lakers pick between him and shaq?
The Wizards frustrate me. I've always kind of liked them (painful), but the Beal deal was bad for the team. Beal's a solid player and I'm glad he's this successful, but the Wizards need to be freeing up money for free agents, not paying an existing losing roster a king's ransom. A bad team with money to burn has a ton more potential than a bad team with nowhere to go financially. I know the Wizards want a star to put people in the seats, but pursuing winning will do that even better.
They should've done a sign and trade or something. The Beal era in Washington is over. KP being there changes nothing. They'll be a lower to higher middle of the pack team year and basically swim in mediocrity through Beal's new contract.
They got burned twice with Arenas and Wall , I hope this one is better
Who the fuck is signing with the Wizards in free agency. Not anyone better than beal. Why would they free up cap space.
@@mrt094 you are kind of right the team is super bad altough washington is not a bad place to live.... they shouldve sign and trade beal and rebuild trough the draft so that way some big name players might join them during free agency.
100% right, attendance in New Orleans for the pelicans was at an all time high during their playoff series.
People might not remember this, but Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd clearly said in an April 2022 media interview, "I don't know if (Jalen Brunson) needs an agent. If he does, put my name in the hat."
This was NOT a joke, because Coach Kidd clearly knew who Brunson's agent, Sam Rose was, and that Sam was the son of New York Knicks GM Leon Rose. When Jalen's father, Rick Brunson, was hired as an assistant coach for the Knicks, the entire Mavs organization knew there was ZERO chance Brunson would come back. 💁🏻♂️🏀
He never would have signed well before this day happened. I'm just surprised he was not traded away with that being the case. Then again they needed Brunson for the Jazz series
For the Portis contract!!! It was the most that the Bucks could offer. They didn’t low ball him on the deal, it’s all they had. Bobby could’ve went and signed a way bigger deal with anyone else
The point is not about is Beal worth that contract. If the Wizards did not resign Beal, they are basically letting their star walk away without getting anything back. Resigning Beal is a must for them
As the years go by, free agency in the NBA is getting crazier and crazier!! People choosing this and that like nothing while deals begin as soon as the playoffs end lol!!
which is honestly fine with me, it's the trades and supermaxes that need work
@@itzwakk335 I agree. The period for free Agency negotiations is obsolete to be honest. It's not like in the 90s and below where people can't talk without being personally present so even if anyone sees a team representative talking to a player, they will be clear of tampering. Nowadays, everyone can reach out anyone with just a press of a button even in their bathroom. It's fair game when every team can talk to players anyway.
@Gibran Camus oops on that lol
Sometimes teams pay older guys big money to teach younger guys how to play, not bring in points
Yup with Brunson the Knicks are totally making it to the 9th seed...scary
Simons has a way higher upside than Brunson due to his size and versatility as a playmaker and a scorer
Isnt simons not that tall
You actually thought the Knicks could help Simons to reach his ceiling? Too many rookies were ruined by the Knicks. I am glad that Simons didn't join the Knicks
@@lewis3132 like who ? Which rookies
@@tj5180 Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox, Dennis Smith JR
Three lottery picks and the Knicks didn't even bother to play them lol. Or the Knicks didn't even have a plan to develop these guys
@@tj5180 And Cam Reddish getting only 15 minutes play time per game is ridiculous
Brunson was a 2 time AP player of the year right? And he has one the best shooting percentage in and around the paint...that's incredible for a guy of his size
I'll have to check him out....I miss watching basketball. It's not popular here in South America.

Anfernee has shown flashes for years, glad to see his breakout. He’s legit
When you hear that intro sound. You know things really have gone hectic and Andy gonna get down to business with a great video on a Saturday noon time while I’m flying back from Cancun
There are a lot of bad GMs out there making stupid decisions handing out some of these silly deals. This is why many teams stay bad for decades. Also the issues for Simmons is not just the sample size. It's Dame being shut down and the team sucking. Simmons won't hit those averages again with Dame on the floor.
Simmons will have more open looks with Dame on the floor. Hopefully it all works out.
You forgot that the mavs also added Javale Mcgee bolstering their frontcourt even more
PJ Tucker doesn't have a ton of miles on his legs because of his journey to getting a late start in the NBA. And with the role that he has, he's not reliant on athleticism. I think he'll be good all 3 of those years
If you have a star player, it benefits you a lot to extend him no matter the cost. Look at Kyrie vs Gobert’s trade value. Only the Lakers willing to trade 2 picks for Kyrie as a rental.
While Jazz snagged 4 first rounders for Gobert (4 yrs. left on his deal) despite
having a negative playoff reputation
Keep up with the quality content Andy!
The way he pronounced Tyus Jones made my chuckle ngl.
“Tee-us Jones”
It's hard to surround your center piece with decent players when everyone who had a pedestrian season wants to get paid.
I think Jalen Brunsun is better than most players would expect so they not really locked in. But now everyone knows he can play so theyre gonna lock in more on defense when guarding jalen
YESSIR Another Andy Hoops NBA free agency video in July
I mean, who can blame these teams? It's not like they don't have the personal contact details of the players and talk casually every now and then with just a press of a button. The free agency period is obsolete to be honest. It only worked when mobile phones wasn't a thing yet.
Hey Andy I recently seen debates on players wearing certain numbers for some teams. That could be a good video idea on "unofficial retired jerseys" like Brandon Roys #7 for Example you mentioned in a previous jersey video. Love the Content been subscribed for over 5 years
The contract situation is gonna kill the nba eventually. Stupid GM’s and owners all dishing out Max’s after a players first 20 point game are dumb as shit and ruining the game.
Yeah there’s going to 100% be a lockout after this CBA and it might be a bad labor dispute.
Glad I found your channel. Keep ‘em coming
The interest said to see how the clippers work with Wall. I think the Celtics are gonna get better. It’s honestly almost as exciting as watching basketball the NBA off-season.
Bro this happens every year and this isn't even the worst.. Brunson basically just went home to be the lead guard that he wants to be on the pay day that he deserves. The Mavs had every chance to extend him early and they didn't.. That's a clear mishandling of the situation.. Just because the Mavs couldn't low ball him after forcing him into a lesser role.. This is some serious levels of cope from Mavs fans.. Brunsons game and IQ proves he can be a lead guard and he proved that in every game where Luka didn't play.
They can’t stop it. It generates too much revenue and interest. Without tampering there isn’t a real reason main stream sports shows would talk NBA. I personally like it, but it does kill the main point of Free Agency. Oh and that PJ Tucker contract is wild lmao.
Brunson's team didn't even attempt to hide the tampering. Him making a meeting with the mavs and then canceling it a couple hours beforehand is just disrespectful. If the tampering is as blatant as it was this time, there needs to be some punishment.
Mavs also signed McGee so Wood won't have to play C all game.
Always love your videos
lol the way andy says tyus jones lmao
There’s a guy in L.A that plays on a team where at one point his sports agency, i mean his BFF’s agency had like 8 of the 15 players on the roster.
Lebron? Lakers? Rich Paul?
Happens ALL the time in business.. Anyone that works knows that nepotism is ugly, unfair, but it is alive, well and not going anywhere..
I agree with most of the things you said, but the Simons deal isn't seen as a good deal by most people. Most laughed when they saw the details of his contract.
Dawg, idk what's worse Beal signing a 5 year deal with the Wizards or the Wizards being absolutely scammed for $251 mil 😭
This is the craziest off season wonder who’s gonna walk in Washington now that Beal has that Max contract
People say that about every offseason every year
@@dspsblyuth because it get's crazier every year 🤣🤣
Brogdon to the Celtics was a very underrated move
If he's healthy.
PJ instantly makes your team better defensively. His presence has raised the defensive prowess of every team he touches. He worth every penny. When he retires he gon be a great defensive coach.
lol
lmfao he's washed
Lol. You guys are really smart.
@@MarkoMagic I agree. He doesn't impact Anything at all.
He Was Never that guy. Just an Empty Name.
Dort could be a gem of a deal.
You know something? I been watching Andy for years man this guy never talk about a anniversary, he rarely do sponsors mans really do this for our entertainment and don’t ask for nothing in return… Well I appreciate the content man
But I’m curious, after seeing that Gobert trade now. With all those picks the Thunder got, do they have enough to get KD🤔That team would actually be kinda nice with his addition to the youngins on that team lol
As a Mavs fan, not sure what Brunson sees in Knicks besides his personal connections and alot of money. Brunson is a good 3rd option on a contending team. Dont see Knicks doing much the next few seasons.
I mean a lot of money is good enough on its own.
I would assume the mavs offered him around 23-25 mil and the knicks only gave him 26. NY taxes will take whatever more money he makes. This is about him wanting to be the man 🙄
@@astashasta1 I can respect that, but I think his camp is inflating his ego. With all the attention on him I dont see him being able to still be effective. If you look at the playoffs, he played very well vs the Jazz but vs the Suns and Warriors he was inconsistent.
@@deantackett2059 I agree. Not sure if he realizes he may be missing out on being part of the next dynasty. He very well may end up averaging 30+ on a mediocre knicks team but he won't be a number 1 on a championship team and if he wants to win like he kept saying he'll never have a better teammate than luka.
@@astashasta1 I guess hes gotta go where he sees is best. But obviously Mavs are much more positioned to be a contender than the Knicks. I was just suprised how it seemed like he was dead set on joining the Knicks the last 2 weeks and it seemed like the Mavs wernt even in play for him.
Literally what he said about Brunson.
“He’s going to be either good or bad,”
Great analysis.
Great video bro 👍
Who’s in charge of the NBA needs to do something about these shady business behind the scenes, but at the end of the day it’s all a game of interests in any sport so I guess it’s like asking for a horse to get wings 🤣
As Mavs fan, I don't hate JB deciding to leave but I do hate how he left. The apparent meeting he scheduled with the Knicks, Mavs and Heat who even said they had no interest, made this look even worse and obvious that he already planned on going to Knicks and possibly already had a contract ready to sign. On top of all that, the many connections JB has within the Knicks organization made it super obvious that there was tampering. I hope Knicks somehow gets fined for it but I doubt it'll happen.
If JB was just straight forward on leaving I wouldn't be mad, I would be sad but not mad but after all these made up promises he promised to do and didn't honor it, left a bad taste in mouth like wtf JB?
He made over 100 mil with this deal so he did the right thing
Great video. BTW I'm pretty sure he prounoinces it TIE US Jones, not Tee us
i find myself watching most of ur videos in the nba offseason n its excellent filler till the season comes back good looks
If I got 251 million id rather waste my prime to a certain team it's just hard to refuse that kind of money.
For sure Bradley Beal got paid WAYYYYY too much cash for sure , he’s definitely not staying in Washington that long , he’ll request a trade in like less than 2 years
He hasn’t shown any evidence of that being the case so far though has he.
Why he hasn’t left yet not every player is ring chasing
Wizards are one good trade package away from being 4-9 seed and last time they were a 6 seed it was a great playoffs :)
The NBA now is just a generation of players and personnel that come from the generations from the past. Truly a brotherhood in every facet of the game.
This. This is the comment that needs a pin.
Jones (Grizzlies) reminds me of Jose Calderon in that he's just consistently very good.
Jose sucked bro, those were the worst years for the Raps 😂
@@jasonblue9297 The guy was a solid veteran player. His assist to turnover ratio was always great too.
@SplayMnBoss The only one talked about in the video? lol
As a mavs fan. I'm sad. But glad he got paid. Kidd said, first things first, let's get you that bag
You said you dont remember last time an undrafted player got that much money; few years ago Fred Vanvleet 4 year 85 million also undrafted and Duncan Robinson signed 90million last year lol
This year RS and has lead to a crazy Free agency
10:36 8.5 mill makes sense, monk isn't a good defender like batum and his offense can be very inconsistent
The next collective bargaining agreement talks are going to be heated. This is what happens when guys are paid for potential rather than performance. The NY media is going to have a field day with Brunson.
I still remember when t wolves has kat Wiggins tyus Jones and Lavine and everyone was talking about their future 😭 all 4 of those players ended up truly being good players just not with the t wolves (besides KAT)
I love Brunson with the Mavs but this maybe good opportunity for him to be the main guy regardless if legal or not.
Jalen Brunson for sure got over payed by the Knicks , but hopefully he can prove everyone wrong and play ball without being next to Luka
Didn’t he ball out on Utah Jazz when Luka was out.
@@KillaMusiktv1BlACKEYEDCORN definitely did they act like he isn’t deserve it I think the won the games with him to
I didnt understand why Monk left FOR THE KINGS. In the best case, he will show more value than he did with the Lakers and sign a better contract with a better team. But at the same time, the Kings so far is a no mans land, they maybe wont give him the spot he wants and it could turn very awful, not only losing his value, but the chance that a competing team would sign him with a better contract than the Kings.
He played with fox At Kentucky so I guess because of that
I hope OKC can get their shit together and try to trade away their excessive hordes of picks, this is a good time contend with their young players and get great veteran role players from mediocre teams, examples like the Pacers, Jazz or Rockets
Why would they do that? Why trade your picks for a Veteran who doesn't match the timeline of their prospect?.
lmfaooo
The mavs kinda addressed the center problem by picking up Javele McGee. Hopefully he's better this time around.
Beal contract is already one of the most overrated contracts. Wizards stuck as a middle of the road team with a boarder line all star on a max contract, who’s probably the 3rd best player on a championship team. Good luck.
50 mill a year lmaoooo
100th viewer!!! This is gonna be 🔥
Although we lost Brunson. Dallas made some good signings especially in Javale McGee which would be great for our defense especially catching some slack off of Christian Wood
Yeah first round exit at best. Both are role players and Luka needs a 2nd star. He will leave soon if mavericks don’t provide him with what he needs
@@bballlegend446 We made it to conference finals with brunson, a role player. Wood is arguably a 2nd star. He was Houstons best player and his heart wasn't in it
@@joetrevino1607 Hawks made conference finals and didn’t improve and look at them. Same will happen to Dallas.
@@bballlegend446 that's Easy-tern conference which actually says more about the Hawks than anything else. We lost brunson but THJ is better and didn't play last year. Wood and Mcgee are also HUGE improvements over Powell and Boban. We did get better. Y'all said same thing about Dirk and he won with no other superstar. Jason Terry was our bench that year.
@@joetrevino1607 The west got better, you did not. Hardaway Jr before the injury was horrible and is now one of the worst contracts in the league and is no where near the player that Brunson is. Wood and McGee are solid improvements, but don’t add in Boban as if he got minutes in the playoffs. McGee is better than Powell and Wood pushes DFS to the 3. You got worse and your team is in the mud. One young superstar with role players around them and no young talent is not a good team.
If the Knicks don’t get a second round pick taken off them for tampering the league should just scrap it as a rule 😂
I like the risk for Jalen Brunson. He bet on himself with taking that 4 year deal with the Knicks. Now we’ll see what he can do on a team where he’s the guy and not playing in the shadow of luka.
Using Bucks as an example, when the mavs play them, jrue holiday is guarding Luka, now the Knicks play Bucks more often and JB is the best guard they have, guess who's guarding Brunson?
@@user-dk5qd7pw2s wtf is your point you make no sense so what holiday guards Brunson?
@Jake Ali bro holiday is gonna lock brunson's ass up lol.
Lol and this is why you’re not a GM. He’s getting overpaid.
how did he "bet on himself"? It's just nepotism and he got the bag
To play devil advocate a little bit at the same time the Knicks its been so long since they had a good point guard.... but yes this is mess up the way they had to bring one
When Silver took over the NBA went full circus.
Maybe NBA teams should stop giving out huge contracts to dudes who literally HAVENT DONE SHIT💀
I think every player should get the bag every chance they get, it's tough being in the NBA for so many different reasons... If it works out good, if it doesn't move to the next one... It's a multi billion dollars industry and not every team is going to win, so I am fine with teams paying the players even though they won't win anything, at least gives the players some incentive to go all out every game...
Every team has a chance to win hypothetically...
Beal really had no choice but to sign that contract… Regardless of who you are or what you do, if someone offers you $50 M per year, you take it. Get paid now, get traded later. Like you said, at least he made sure to #SecureTheBag
Brunson's contract is good imo. A little overpaid yes, but he's shown he can perform on the big stage. The knicks, however, need better pieces still. Julius randle only played hard to get his bag and then he's back to coasting
I'm sure the Zion contract has Embiid type protections
that Brunson deal would be a scandal if the Knicks were better than a 35-win team even with him
I always admired bball (coming from the UK) in the 80's and 90's when I grew up, as players stayed with the same team for their entire careers. I think it wasn't until the 00's when players started to be sold to other teams with regularity. Now it's maybe even worse than Football in the UK (the purse has even gotten to be as astronomical as well now) I'm not sure, would you guys say it's better for the league that players are traded around so often, or worse? or is it way more complicate than either/or?
It would be tough being a GM in the NBA and I understand they have to spend money and they have to try and win or else they are fired and its not like the NFL or MLB where you can get good players deep in the draft every year. Getting a major elite star like a LBJ,Curry,Giannis...etc is so hard and rare and takes alot of luck. Thats why what golden state and Milwaukee has done takes alot of luck and patience. Cant believe Beal gets 50m a year!
There are connections everywhere lol this isnt the only one. And all the teams talk before the tampering thing ends lmao
This shows you the NBA is a brotherhood. Rigged but still entertaining.
Beal will request a trade within 2 years
Wouldn’t be surprised if he did but hopefully no teams would be stupid enough to take that trade on an overpaid undersized 30 something year old guard whose prone to injuries. Not mad at Beal for securing the bag but he chose to stay for the max deal so when reporters get in his a** for the wizards being trash hopefully he won’t bitch and moan about needing help or wanting a trade
If I were a Knicks fan, I would be pissed that this is basically nepotism and puts them behind so much. Let's be honest, Brunson is not an All NBA/All Star level player. Leon Rose could've saved his moves for next season and signed better free agents with a loaded 2023 FA class. For comparison, the Spurs moving on from Dejounte just had them clear about 80M in cap space to potentially sign two big names next year. And add to that a high lottery pick next year, possibly Wembanyama.
Tampering on another level 😂😂😂
Let the Knicks overpay for him. He’s a B level player getting paid a dumb amount that’s just going hurt them long term.
Nothing the knicks have done under this new front office has hurt them long term they paid a fair deal for a postion of need 🤷🏽♂️
The only way they are going to be able to prevent tampering is by making the punishments harder more then likely.
The contract for bruson is one of the worst I have ever seen
Brunson is actually a really good player and willing alpha dawg between the ears.. Been watching his since high school.. You just know when dudes are different and he different than the other guys that had success in high school and college then to go on to the league.. Seen more than 10 players go through that, and he got that Drose mentality and in chicago you get 2/10 pro able guys that have that mentality. you will see..
Knicks probably end up getting hit with a 2nd rounder by the league but they don't care. If Cuban complained last year about Lowry then I'm sure he'll make a stink about one of his own players.
How is it conflict having family run agency? Only makes it more likely they are about the player's interest and not themselves. Guy secured a gigantic deal in a gigantic market that had no point guard in place, easily the best destination and deal available and you'd be crazy thinking it wasn't the best option.
You’re forgetting KP is the bullets too. If he’s healthy they’re a playoff team
Sometimes I don't know if it's about getting paid or wanting to win 🤔🤷🏿
Depends if Ima star I’m trying to win cause I’m getting big money regardless if ima role player I’m going for the bag cause the ring wouldn’t mean as much to me
Connections are connections, EVERYBODY in the NBA has them,thats not tampering. So Brunson can't play with the Knicks cuz his family has connections there? Tampering would be if the Knicks tell the Mavs not to match their offer because Brunson was secure
For the Brunson issue,yes it looks kinda suspicious him having relatives to help him get those bags, but Knicks are desperate, and no other good PG want's to come to the team unless you give em the bag, tho Quickly can be a starting PG of Knicks Thibs don't trust him that much. For Monk, now that's a guy that deserves much better team
Here’s another trivia about Leon Rose, he’s the distant uncle of Derrick Rose 😂
You should do a video on how good was Peja Stojaković
Brunson agent will recieve 4 million dollars in commission over the next 4 years. So basically the GM of the Knicks Mr Brunson gave his son Agent Brunson 4 million dollars 💸
You mean Mr.Rose.
What if nba contracts will be incentive base.. like the deeper they go to the playoffs the better the money they will get.. like initial deal is 15m/yr but if they win the title it can become 25m for that year
