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

[Moviemavguy]

I love Brunson and would keep him at any price, but that doesn't exclude the fact that people are making up some version of Brunson in their minds that IMO doesn't really exist.  He was GREAT against the Jazz and very mediocre to sometimes good in the two series after.  He shot a whopping 20% from three against the Suns.  He was 18 ppg in the two series after the Jazz.  Defense was really bad in some of those games in which the team COULDN'T cover it up.  That's nothing to scoff at, but it's not something you burn the house down over.  Not when you literally just got an 18 ppg center.  

I would say the biggest issue of Brunson going to NY would be the repetitive picture of talented guys not choosing Dallas over other teams.  And what would it say about Luka if Brunson didn't want to play with him anymore?
