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

As for whether the Mavs messed up on the original deal, it's hard to say. If they knew then what they know now, then of course. But what he got (4 years at the minimum, with year 4 a team option) was the "going rate" for players picked at that point in that draft (Mitchell Robinson, for example, got the EXACT same deal.) The Mavs did get the benefit of 4 cheap years, if he worked out.

Thanks for clarifying this, this actually makes me feel a little better and what they did. I was thinking it had been a "they just forgot to add that" issue with the contract.
