We've backed ourselves into a corner here. It's very unfortunate how they've handled the situation but for now I'm still pretty confident that they CAN keep him around. The question is do they want to. The fifth year and higher annual raises give us a clear financial advantage. I agree that paying Brunson $30+M seems absurd but at the end of the day it pretty cleary is the best option for us. The moment he leaves the team takes a big hit with no path to replace him adequately.
Also you always gotta keep Luka in mind. The guy already has to play for half a decade now without an allstar teammate and probably also will never do so over his stint in DAL. That by itself is a pretty huge screwup, you can't let Brunson walk on top of that and expect Doncic to be happy about it.
