I think we need to keep in mind that we are a bottom tier destination city/organization and we will always need to overpay. Jalen at north of 25m might not be a highly attractive trade piece but I also don't think it makes him a negative asset either.
Been busy so have only been able to peek in and out on the Brunson story but from what I have seen and from his direct interview, didn't it come down to the Mav's missing a window when they could have extended him Dallas for much less money but then after that the ship was sailed?
From what I hear Jalen say, he had a window there where he planned to make his career long term in Dallas and even discussed accepting an extension if they Mavs offered it. The Mavs didn't offer in that window, Brunson's play continued to blow up, enter the NY Knicks and it was all over that point.
For those that have followed it more closely, do I have this summarized pretty accurately?
