2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

Whatever the % chance JB leaves was, it just went up. There are some salesmen out there!

Looks like this one will be a white knuckler.  NY and Dallas seem 50-50 for Brunson at this point. Losing Brunson for nothing would set the franchise back a couple of years.  He’s really the only reliable non role player on the roster outside of Luka.

I actually disagree. This isn't new for Thibs. Rick Brunson was an assistant coach for Thibs in Chicago AND in Minnesota (But was let go because of sexual assault allegations). 

Rick Brunson also was working with the Knicks for a long time before this. He worked out Obi Toppin for them and was apart of practices. 

Finally this move by a team trying to sway Brunson isn't even new. Temple attempted to hire Rick Brunson in order to get Jalen to commit to them. Rick subsequently got arrested and Brunson committed to Nova anyways. 

So no, I don't think this hiring should have any sway for where Jalen wants to go. As long as the Mavs pay him more than anyone, JB should be a Mav.
