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

[dynamicalVoid]

Here is what Skin Wade is claiming:

When the Mavs did not offer JB a 4yrs/$55M deal last summer (because the new management/Cuban didn't see him as a long term solution with Luka) they gambled on being able to trade him at the TDL. They lost that gamble badly and knew that he was functionally gone after they failed to trade him. 

This makes sense of Rick Brunson's frustration with DAL. And I am sure Donnie heading out the door added a bunch of fuel to the fire.

This makes sense as far as pissing off the Father of a player because you didnt believe in said player and were shopping him.

The money still doesnt work though and I think the Brunsons still had a plan to go to New York in place.

Short of a Max...I think Brunson was gone anyway.  I could really be reading the situation badly though.
