This is the general sentiment now. Its hindsight revisionist. There were a lot of folks adamant we don't offer the max extension, and no offense but you were one of them. I guess you can make the hindsight argument that most of us didn't see it but the FO should have because that is what they are paid to do, but calling it malpractice is wildly overstated. I also think there is a lot of posturing now, but there was thought even back then that Brunson would not take the extension because he wanted to try his hand in free agency and be the starting point guard (very few folks thought he would be starting this season, especially when Rick was still the head coach).
