Brunson’s team requesting meetings makes me think it’s all about tampering.

I do believe he has his mind made up for the Knicks. But if the Mavs don’t give him the offer of 5/125 then they really are as incompetent as they appear.
I mean, JB choosing Miami requires a SnT right?

Of course. 

He and his agent don't want Jalen's new team, which employs both of their fathers, to get in trouble for tampering. This makes it look like it's not already a done deal. 

Kudos to the Mavs for running out the ground ball, at least. I'm sure they know it's pointless, but I respect their willingness to try.

Correct.
So who are the best current Mavs to bring to a pitch meeting?   Is Jalen's dad and Mom still married?   If not, lets hire the Mom to a management role Smile

It’s 100% a waste of time unless Cuban brings a 5yr 125-130mil offer to the table…. which doesn’t appear likely.
Are they moving the franchise to New Jersey? If not then this meeting is a waste of time  Big Grin

Well he loves Maxi, Dwight and Josh…bring them. Luka is in Europe somewhere, not sure of his teams commitments to games at the moment but if he showed up I’m sure that would mean a lot to JB.
Cuban should immediately build a hotel where he hires and houses nothing but parents of potential draft picks from here and overseas.
Maybe Luka finally stepped in and „threw his weight around“ behind the scenes?
Seriously Luka might be the only person who can still fix this. If he - for once - actually puts pressure on this mess of an organization he probably could get them to pony up an offer that keeps Brunson here. 

We still can offer more than anybody else after all.

I think Luka is doing his thing with Slovenia right now, probably barely devoting any mental energy to what's happening here.

...or maybe pressure on Jalen to take less?

Trouble finding a replacement? Blush

No matter what happens, this is the kind of care I was hoping the Mavs would show. Fight for your 2nd best player; I imagine the $22M AAV offer has to be increased? Cuban doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt but no way he is that dumb to show up with the same offer.

I always saw Miami as a great fit for JB; Riley has to be thinking, "We're paying the corpse of Lowry nearly $30M AAV; we can surely give that to Brunson instead."
