Brunson is extension eligible next summer before he's UFA in 2022.  He's actually extension eligible right now, but that is a longer story.

Next summer they can decline his TO for 21 making him RFA with a very small cap hold.  Tough call.  RFA in 21 may add to LT (or throw them into it if they aren't there already).  Or, wait until 22 and potentially lose him for nothing as a UFA.

Is the 4th season actually a TO or is it just un-guaranteed, and does the CBA actually distinguish between the two when it comes to declining it and making him a RFA?

I like Brunson and would be very happy with him as Luka’s backup for the next few seasons, but he just seems like a guy that is destined to be lost for nothing if we don’t capitalize on moving him.
