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

[Kammrath]

I mean cutting through all the BS negotiation talk this is all that matters. Brunson wanted to stay here and resign even after not getting offered the extension in the summer. 

If anything Nico did him a favor (and not the Mavs). Makes me think as long as the Mavs offer a competitive contract, I.E 5/120, then he'll be back here no question.

Yep, which is why I said in my personal analysis that I don't think the Mavs made a catastrophic failure in this. I think it is FAR MORE likely he gets money-whipped to stay in DAL than it is that he walks. 

And honestly, with what he showed in the games without Luka (averaging 30+ in the PLAYOFFS as THE GUY), they will have no problem flipping his contract even at its exorbitant level. 

Point being, if JB is WORTH the contract he signed then the Mavs did not make a mistake, because they will be able to flip easy enough when they want to.
