I was not a fan of the THJ contract, but I would be totally fine with Brunson max extension (12) and happy with MLE.
Caruso is my litmus test for the contract and I wouldn't pay Jalen more than him. Jalen's a better scorer, Caruso has a better all-around game and doesn't come with the same athletic limitations. MBT have had a really bad habit of overpaying rotational guys (Powell, WCS, Bullock) and they need to buck that trend.
