Don't think anyone would have imagined that folks would be willing to pay Brunson 25 a year by end of season.
Let me preface by saying that Bullock had arguably one of the best playoff runs on the roster, but dude was bad out of the gate. I still think $10m per year is a little pricey but again maybe ballooning NBA salaries has broken my internal math processor.

Best case would have been Mitchel and our 23, which would have made a lot of sense considering we just traded away our starting center for a potential Brunson replacement (Dinwiddie). If there was any chance that was on the table, then we really fucked up.
Would have been poetry too as I recall a lot of people wanting Robinson with that pick and then making fun of the MBT for their love of tiny PGs.
