IF Dallas kicks the cap space one more year then extending Brunson would be a mistake...
Dallas needs to be ready to jump on a deal when Luka only counts 200% of his 20-21 salary. Having a cap hold on Brunson for 3.6 million while holding Bird Rights keeps a lot of the space intact, that Brunson having signed an extension (120% of Avg salary) will have consumed on July 1 2022. Hopefully after next week we won't be worrying about cap space for the summer of '22, and quite possibly means extending Brunson won't be our decision to process.
