The New York Knicks are considered strong favorites to sign Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson in free agency, sources told ESPN.
It's widely anticipated that Brunson will agree to a four-year deal in excess of $100 million to sign with the Knicks soon after free agency opens on Thursday evening, league sources said.
New York, which traded the No. 11 overall pick and point guard Kemba Walker on draft night, are trading center Nerlens Noel and guard Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
