Was it even a rumor?If I remember correctly it was a tweeted quote directly from JB around the same time JKidd was quoted as saying JB is gonna get paid this offseason.
I don't even remember reading something saying that. The only things I've seen have been NYK buzz that's mainly driven from the side of NYK (i.e. NYK will make Brunson their first target, not vice versa). Also some Detroit buzz that they're interested in Brunson too.
All I'm saying is let's not get too ahead of ourselves. If the Mavs offer Brunson a competitive contract (and we've seen no evidence they wouldn't do so otherwise), I don't see why JB would want to leave.
