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

[Fuerza1]

Disagree'd. Some new numbers: Anfernee Simons $25M annually, Tyus Jones $15M annually, Batum $11M annually, Monk $10M annually. Brunson's contract is easily a valuable commodity. 

Also: the cap will increase by quite a lot soon. 

Looks like Brunson was just sick of not being valued by "his" team. I can't blame him. The Mavs NEVER prioritized him even when they had no better options.

Bro, the Mavs prioritized scrubs like Delon Wright, Josh Richardson, THJ, etc. over him for the longest time. A big reason for that was Carlisle, who I put the blame at #1, followed by Donnie, Cuban, and Nico. 

Brunson's new contract at $26M AAV won't even be top 50 in the NBA by next summer. He got paid fair market value. Cuban just couldn't punch above his weight class. He ain't Ballmer or Lacob.
