Most places (including Jake Fischer) have said Jalen Brunson is in the $20M+ AAV range. IMO, he gets $22-$24M AAV at least.
5/90 deal would be $18M AAV; 5/95 deal would be $19M AAV.
Reminder, Nico and Cuban just paid THJ $18.75M AAV last summer, and that was a discount (rumor was NOP was offering $22M AAV). Brunson is much better than THJ, and younger. Mavs cannot afford to get cute if they want to retain Brunson.
