2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jmaciscool]

In regards to Brunson, I don't think anything's really changed.  If he wants to be the lead guy on a team then that's always been something that the Mavs can't offer that NY can.  If he wants to get paid then that's still something that the Mavs can offer that NY can't.

I think over the next week there's going to be a lot of reports/opinions that NY is a strong (maybe even leading) contender for Brunson's services - if there weren't then his agent wouldn't be doing his job.

I personally think it's going to end up with Brunson quickly signing a contract with the Mavs that's probably higher than what he would have signed had NY never been involved.  That gets him the most $$$ and the best chance of winning if those are the things he's looking for, and if those aren't his top priorities then the Mavs were never really in the competition to begin with.
