Jalen Brunson Rumors: Knicks, Mavericks, Heat to Meet with Guard in NBA Free Agency

According to reports, the free-agent point guard will meet with three teams when negotiations begin on Thursday.

On the first day of free agency, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reported that the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, and Miami Heat will be in contact with Rickey.

The meetings will take place in New York. The Knicks are seen as the favorites to sign the player. A four-year deal in excess of 100 million dollars was reported by Tim MacMahon. The Knicks have made a number of moves to clear cap space and Rick Brunson was hired as an assistant coach.

It seems like signing with the Knicks is a foregone conclusion for Brunson, but he is interested in exploring the possibility of earning a sweeter deal. According to Stein, it was the camp that requested to meet with both Dallas and Miami.

According to a report, the Mavericks have an advantage over the other teams that are interested in him. Dallas can offer a maximum five-year, $125 million contract, but it's not likely that the team will commit that much money to him. Haynes reported that the Mavs were close to an agreement on a five-year contract.

The Heat are considered to be a dark horse team. A sign-and-trade is likely to be needed for the rising point guard.
