BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[Fuerza1]

JB has a career high playoff game and the coach that was holding him back all of a sudden wants him. 

I hope JB says to kick rocks!

Carlisle 100% held him back. No way he'd reunite with him in Indy. 

Carlisle would yank Brunson out of games for 1 mistake or no mistake at all and insert 35 y.o, peg leg JJ Barea for "energy." 

Delon Wright was a Carlisle signing a la Josh Richardson trade, as the "starting, big guard defender," both players Carlisle prioritized more than Brunson. 

Bubble Burke was another Carlisle move who he had penciled in ahead of Brunson before he reverted back into China Burke. 

Then Carlisle sabotaged Brunson in last year's playoff series by relying on bit player Boban over his 6MOY candidate; imagine JET devolving from big minutes to waterboy in the playoffs. 

All Brunson needed was a consistent opportunity; it is no surprise he is seizing the moment with new and improved head coach Jason Kidd. Carlisle never envisioned Brunson as a starter next to Luka, point blank.
