2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

If I am Brunson, stuff like this would make me seriously consider the point of signing with Dallas, just so they can trade me to whatever shitty situation happens somewhere. Why not just sign where they value me as a core piece and not a tradeable contract. From Cato:

" if Dallas does trade for a star in the coming offseasons, as this move sets them up for, re-signing Brunson and featuring him as the team’s most appealing available player seems like the most logical move."

It's part of the business though and Jalen certainly understands that because of his dad.  I'd personally look at it as more of a complement.  I'm getting a huge contract and I'm still in demand.  Further his biggest outright suitors are not going to be ideal situations from a winning standpoint (New York and Detroit).
