Well, to be fair, the Mavs can pay him more than $80 million, if they want. We've speculated a lot about the tax and whether or not it makes sense to go into that range yet, but it's certainly not a foregone conclusion that they'll let Brunson go to avoid it. And, even if they do want to avoid it (for now, or from now on) there are probably ways of making it possible to give Brunson the money he deserves by clearing something else out.
