So Detroit does something opportunistic with their cap space to accumulate more assets to build around their young star….something Cuban has never done.
And NY clears out cap space and goes and actually lands their guy before FA even starts…something Cuban has never done.
You don't think a forward thinking, self-aware version of the Mavs could've EASILY sold the Knicks on dealing No. 11 (Duren) and Kemba for the TPE, thereby signaling to NY that they were bidding out of the Brunson "derby", thus letting the Knicks not have to bid against themselves for JB???

I would like Grimes personally. Or our ‘23 pick. But why would Mark pay the tax for those 3 semi stiffs if he wouldn’t pay Jalen? Wonder what is headed Detroits way to take Burks and Noel. Must be something worth their while.
They're getting 2 2nd round picks back which one of them was their own. And NY is sending them 6 million dollars in cash.

I don’t. If it was the Mavs and Knicks both needing cap space to sign JB, then yeah maybe. Kind of like……Detroit.
If I’m NY no way am I handing assets to the Mavs to dump salary when they can STILL pay JB more than me no matter what I do.
