They didn't extend. I have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.
It was a miss by the FO, but it's over and done with. I have to remind myself of this and accept that he is going to get "overpaid" but they absolutely need to keep him here because it's hard to imagine any SnT that makes sense with the BYC in play.
The two of you are missing out on the reality that he had likely already priced out in his own mind at the time the extension was a possibility. If you want to be salty about something, be salty that Brunson wasn't a chump sucker who was born yesterday, which he would have had to be in order to take that piddly extension.
