2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Brunson should be looking to maximize this contract.  He hasn't made a ton of money yet since he's played out a 2nd round contract after spending 3 years in college.  This is his first shot at a payday and god forbid, it could be his last.  This is his shot at generational wealth.  I wouldn't take a hometown discount either but that doesn't mean the Mavs shouldn't be in the drivers seat as Texas offers some tax protections that most other states can't compete with.  Jalen is smart, he'll make the right decision.

I don’t think the lack of state income tax has ever actually been a factor in anyones decision to come or not to Dallas, whether it’s the Mavs, Rangers, Cowboys or Stars.
