Great post. 

The reality, in my honest opinion, is that 100% of people, including all of us, would take the higher monetary offer. The difference in your example is like $20 million over the life of the contract, if I'm understanding you. That's what he will choose. The $20 million. It's easy for us to think of these guys' lives as abstractions, but basketball is their occupation and their dreams are about compensation and quality of life more than anything else.

Not to mention I doubt Brunson looks at it like he will be overmatched in a starting role.  Seems like the kind of guy that would relish that kind of opportunity rather than shy away from it.
