Though one has to wonder how big the cap will be in 2026 and 2027.
Surprised Cuban appears to be fighting tooth and nail to be cheap here, although I guess the guy doesn't really care about basketball anymore.
The cap will be a lot bigger in 4 or 5 years and Brunson will still be in his prime. That is a reasonable contract for a guy that projects to be an efficient 20 a game scorer that can create for himself and others on offense while not being a huge negative on defense. That contract would be an asset and very tradeable unless Brunson regresses significantly.
