2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[fifteenth]

When Nico was asked about Brunson and the possibility of an extension or being an unrestricted free agent in the summer, he responded:




This is a REALLY intriguing answer to me. To me it shows that he is looking big picture and so that means an individual player like JB has to fit or not fit in that big picture. It's not about JB and his contract situation, it is about the team and what the team needs.


So my read and interpretation is this:

If Nico likes "who we are" as a team 25 games in, then I think he will lock up Brunson somehow, someway. But if he doesn't like "who we are" then JB will likely be part of a trade that works to change the reality of "who we are."
