Does it really matter if Nico likes Brunson 25 games in? If I understand it correctly, he can't offer Brunson more than 12 mil on an extension, right? I don't know if that was offered during offseason or not, but if Brunson continues to play like he is now I don't think he takes that without at least a look at free agency. In fact, if that quote means they did not offer Brunson the max extension and wanted to see what he was after 25 games, it may have been a big mistake.
