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

From @omahen post in the roster thread:

Very interesting listen. Skin saying Mavs didn't want to pay Brunson more than 22 mil. He also basically confirms the January extension version and that they didn't believe they can win a title with JB and just saw him as an asset. I thought they didn't get the meeting and Brunson family are the ultimate bad guys, though. I guess I was wrong... 

He is saying they have a back up plan if they lose JB. They are positioning themselves to make a move in 18 months. Might be sooner. They have a group of guys they believe make them a contender and they want to be prepared when opportunity comes. Mentions expiring Powell, Kleber and Wood (can be aggregated after August 23rd) as expiring salary that can be used in trades.

Also a lot on other topics as McGee (doesn't think he will start), Kyrie (possibility if price low) and other trades around the league.

There are no good guys. Mavs screwed up. Brunson and his team didn´t like it. Gave the Mavs a taste of their own medicine.
