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

[SleepingHero]

Between the Rose’s, dad on staff, Knicks punting the draft to clear cap space…just a ton of smoke that points to Brunson and NY.  

I am convinced the Mavs are gearing up for the fight though.  If JB was going to NY no matter what then surely Dallas engages on SnT talks.  The fact NY is having to do all of this tells me Mavs aren’t playing ball and are ready to fight it out.  

The biggest winner in all this is JB and I’m happy for him because he has earned it.  

With no real insight I’d call it 60/40 Mavs right now.  Hopefully when FA opens the vibes are immaculate and JB stays in Dallas

Are we going to forget this nugget by Jake Fischer? Of course things change... But the Mavs literally hold all the leverage here. JB wants to get paid. He wants to win. Knicks can't offer the best of either. All of these tweets just sound like posturing from reporters with their Knick contacts because they have to keep them happy to stay plugged in. This also works in their favor for content generation. Fans for the Mavs are now going to read every detail of their articles because of their open ended tweets about JB and the Knicks.


Even Steins quote if the Knicks can clear room they are a "threat". Sure they are a "threat for Brunson." But its of the same vein as North Korea threatening the USA with military might. I'm sure they believe they have a chance, but when push comes to shove, USA wins that battle every time if they had to focus. 

Mavs are in the driver seat. As long as they aren't drunk this should end with a 12:01 am signing of Brunson and we all move on and laugh at the Knicks draft moves tonight.
