@"audiosway". The issue is not that Brunson now might be considered an overpay. The issue is a series of bad decisions starting with the previous mgmt not picking up the option to the current mgmt not evaluating a player they saw everyday to not give him a smaller deal earlier that he might have accepted. That is what most are upset about.
You cannot lose your 2nd best shot creator, one who improved tremendously from the last playoffs to this year, and try to just focus on the defensive side. Was JeT a great 2 way player? We would not have a title without him. What great 2 way player do you have confidence that this franchise will correctly evaluate and get? Even if they get and develop one that player will also most probably walk away.
You say this is a good decision. This is the start of Luka looking at the rest of the West and realizing he is on a team going nowhere and working for an incompetent management. He will force a trade sooner than later now.
