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

[F Gump]

Not sure why there is the need for snark. I hope you don't take this in the wrong way, but it feels like you are acting like "the smartest guy in the room" as much as Cuban does.

What's the freebie to NYK? Getting the full MLE? But wonder if they have no desire to spend that?

What's the benefit to the Mavs doing the SnT? Getting a TPE? But wonder if they have no plan for something like that and already have other plans in the works? 

I just don't see anyway we can make a judgment on the Mavs here. We just do not have enough information on their desires or the desires/attitudes of NYK.

I don't think I'm the smartest by any means. The attitude, if any, is kind of a pushback on how you always will try to absolve Cuban and Mavs FO of any lack of skill. ALWAYS, without fail, you try to paint their messes as impossible to avoid, or as unfair, or as unknowable. Here, you want to accuse me of arrogance for daring to point out the glaringly bad situation. Good grief.

When you say here that "I just don't see anyway we can make a judgment on the Mavs here" then, frankly, it seems you are blinded by your bias, Kamm.

I will recite AGAIN what I just posted. But these are points I already gave, and instead of reading them, you ignored them in order to attack me - and then to ask me what I just said. But here we go.
 
I pointed out the benefit to BOTH teams (regardless of whether they could find a bigger angle). NOTE: I assume the Mavs see these benefits, to be able to point them out to NY (hey, let's just do this part anyhow, we both win a little something, it costs us nothing), and to realize them for DAL.

NY would get big MLE, BAE, ability to retain Gibson and rights to Archidiacono, and a 9.165M TPE to use next summer. Even if they otherwise prefer to jettison G & A and only use the room MLE, they get the TPE which MIGHT be helpful in 2023 free agency, never know. Why not have it?

For Mavs, if they can't loop it into another deal, they still get a 12M TPE which they don't have to use, but which MIGHT be helpful in 2023 free agency, never know. Why not have it?

You said "We just do not have enough information on their desires or the desires/attitudes of NYK" and that's really a weak objection -- you're saying that maybe NY didn't accept a freebie and THE MAVS COULDN'T SELL THEM ON ACCEPTING A FREEBIE. Don't you see how weak of an excuse that is, to defend that level of inability?????????

Having those assets doesn't cost either team a thing, doesn't prevent them from anything, doesn't tie up a roster spot, doesn't incur payroll or tax. There literally is NO downside. NONE. It's the no-braineriest trade that ever was for both teams, and if the Mavs can't close THAT deal (or, if they can't say yes when NY wants it), it's incredibly bad. This should be 1st grade level stuff.
