Giving guys like that hefty contracts is okay if your core is in place and you want to become a tax payer. I wouldn't have given THJ the contract the Mavs did this summer (at least the cap number are decreasing). 7-8M would be my number for Brunson and I think he'll command more on the open market.
That seems really low. I would think he would easily be worth the MLE. Especially considering his age and the fact he appears to improving on a yearly basis. I was not a fan of the THJ contract, but I would be totally fine with Brunson max extension (12) and happy with MLE.
