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

[audiosway]

There is a lesson here for Nico on contract structure if nothing else.  Can he learn from the previous MBT's mistake?

The disheartening thing from my perspective is that I'd hoped Kidd/Nico would be a lot better at the relationship and recruiting game than Donnie and Rick.  I don't think we've seen evidence of that improvement.  The Jalen bridge was probably burned long before Nico was hired.

There is so much truth in this. The Jalen bridge was definitely burned before Kidd and Nico. No doubt there. There are going to be growing pains with them too. Nico has never been a GM. Even great GMs make mistakes. Nico has never been a GM. So, I'm hoping he learns fast.
