TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Jason Terry]

This should not be that hard...
Start JB at $1 Million more than NY has in space and use the Bird Right raises. Over 4 years that would represent roughly 8 million + state income tax.

NY has $25 to start; Dallas counters with $26
NY can offer 4 years $112 million
Dallas can offer 4 years $119.6 million, with a player option in year 5 for $36.4 million

I would say make it even. Make the Dallas offer less but factor in the tax to where we pay less against the cap but Brunson takes home the exact same amount either way. This way if Brunson leaves it really wasn’t about the money. 

Either he’s a winner or a money grabber. He has no option outside of Dallas where he will ever get remotely close to winning. This decision will show us what he’s made of
