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

[dynamicalVoid]

What I really want to know is if the Brunson camp really requested an extension before the TDL.
If there was, and Nico didn't bother with it, then Nico gets a HUGE thumbs down from me.

So let me ask you this...if you knew the player was worth more and didnt want to rip him off or make him feel as if he was being taken advantage of...do you offer the contract anyway in the best interest of the Mavs even at risk of upsetting the player?

Guys on the Ticket made a good point about the sequence of events post January.   If JB was willing to reach out to the Mavs begging to sign a 4/55 or 5/55 contract...why were all these scouts at the Mavs game with Rick Brunson sitting with Leon supposedly just 2 months later?

Seems like Jb's family has known that Knicks would be offering far more for his services way before January.   I mean...JB's legal God Father is running the Knicks and that guys son is JB's agent.  Why would JB be begging Mavs for the 4/55 or 5/55?  It doesnt add up.

Jake(?) from the Ticket thinks Rick Brunson is lying about the extension story.  I assume hes talking about the April news story on Brunson and the article has quotes from Rick Brunson about JB's price skyrocketing and there are "No Discounts" for JB and his services now.

Something isnt adding up for sure.  But if you are Head Honcho...do you offer the 4/55 and hope the player signs so you have him controlled....or do you not offer and risk losing an asset for nothing?

Seems like Mavs were just in a bad situation.   Offer the contract and upset player.  Dont offer it and the asset leaves.
