I find it interesting that Nico, Kidd, & Cuban have been in lockstep with their public comments on Jalen. We are happy for him, We are happy for his family. We wanted him back but we know this is a business. We can't replace him but we liked what we have done, etc. Even Cuban has stuck to this and he typically is a loose cannon when talking. I thought some frustration would seep out, but I haven't heard that all.
I personally think losing Brunson is a gut punch. I felt like Jalen was a core piece here. Just someone who you can count on in tough moments. From their public comments, it doesn't feel like Dallas thinks this is as big of a loss that I believe it is. Maybe they weren't even crazy going above 22 million in the first place.
On one side, I am impressed with the professionalism and discipline, on the other side I am wondering do they even realize what they had?
