I guess Cuban can make a pitch with some incentives or something, but it still appears that the Mavs have a limit they don't want to go over... and NY is willing to beat. So I am not sure what will be different tomorrow.
Yes, that's the conclusion we reached 24 hours ago.
I agree, very unlikely Cuban raises his offer.
If your point is that the Mavs made a calculated risk (at the deadline) that no team would make Brunson an offer north of what they were comfortable offering him themselves, I agree. But, to my mind, that's a HUGE risk and a huge mistake. I could've told you then that NY would be able to clear enough space to make a huge offer, and Detroit, who had rumored interest at the time, already projected to have plenty of space.
