Another piece of verification:
The Mavs NEVER offered an extension at any point to JB because they would have lost the ability to trade him.
Kamm. this actually shows the Mavs in poor light even though you are using at as something against the Brunson camp.
That’s why I said in one of the posts that it would have been easy to call Rick Brunson’s bluff if the Mavs had just gone ahead and made a formal offer at multiple stages during the season. What was the harm in that? Agents have to do their thing and say that they will negotiate later. However GMs have to do their thing too and make formal offers so that the other side can’t say these types of things later.
The fact that the Mavs didn’t do that does lend a bit of credence to the stories that they were trying to keep their trade options open. So you continuing to rail at the Brunson camp as if all the fault was with them comes across as not keeping an unbiased mind and quickly jumping to just agree with the narratives put out by the Mavs.
