Although I find it curious you think it would've been such an obvious move given how Brunson was played off the court during that playoff series. But I digress. We've been over the extension and whether or not if it was real at all.
If the pre-FA rumors were to be believed, the Mavs offered Brunson 5yrs/110mil. Which is a little bit more than what he got from NYK total money wise (4/104). If you wanted the Mavs to offer the same exact AAV, then they should've given JB 5/142 mil w/8% max raises (or 5/135 w/5% raises)
Do you think Brunson is worth that? Last 2 years are 30+ mil.
Could have not fully guaranteed the last year.
Players worth something, cost something.
Yes it is hindsight now. But I'm not over it.
And the way they handled that, DFS could have been the same story.
