Which I guess is the point where a deal becomes an actual possibility
Just hurts us that the MBT fumbled the contract situation. Noticeably more value if he was a restricted free agent like he should be.
I hope to god Nico has hired on a contract expert or 2. No reason to make amateur mistakes with the budget they have
I think if we had done Brunson's contract correctly he would have been restricted last year. That means he would have potentially already signed for 4 years at roughly 40-50 million. That would look like a very valuable asset right now, and we also would not be worried about him bailing anytime soon, so he would be more valuable as an asset and we would have more leverage. Its a real shame they messed that up.
