1) April 25 the story breaks where Rick Brunson claims he went to the Mavs in January and asked them to extend JB.
2) June 2 the news leaks that Rick Brunson has been hired by NYK who has been known to want JB.
Rick Brunson has a vested interest in turning the Mavs into the bad guy and turning his son against them.
Rick Brunson goes to MacMahon with a story about the Mavs not treating his son properly in contract negotiations and then less than 6 weeks later is hired by the team that has been aiming to sign his son.
On April 25 when he ran to the media, Rick Brunson had no idea he was going to be hired by NYK (whose season was already over for two weeks)?
Do your own math and connect the dots for yourself.
And maybe Rick Brunson was not trying to turn his son against the Mavs. Maybe Rick Brunson was doing narrative control work on behalf of his son who was preparing himself for an exit.
Regardless of the truth and reasoning behind it, going to the media TWO DAYS after Luka returns to the UTA series and six weeks before taking the NYK job to spill dirt on how the Mavs do not value his son is very, very, very suspicious timing. No way it is an accident. Rick Brunson spoke with purpose when speaking to MacMahon and knew he was on the record.
