Change has to come from Cuban

Agreed, and I definitely did not agree with the post you were replying to.  Suggesting the Brunson is a JAG who got paid because of 3 playoff games sounds like sour grapes more than anything.  But this organization has a fairly good record of holding onto guys that they want to hold onto.  I think Brunson was a special case.  The real mistakes were made earlier.  The original contract (no restriction) and not offering the extension in the offseason.

I would add, the last mistake was not trading him. If you decide he is not a long term fit but just a trade asset, you go through with it. Everything about his contract and how this would limit his value was known in advance. His family relations and ties to NY were known in advance. But Mavs miscalculated again thinking NY, who was certainly trying to trade for Brunson at TDL, will have to come back to them in the summer.
