BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[Kammrath]

Here, use this quote instead, and where are we? "They had a second plan in which if they lose Jalen, we've got an alternate plan. Now that may have been muddied by the Kevin Durant news, but they wanted to get assets for Jalen Brunson. They didn't want to pay him more than 22. They knew that they were probably going to lose him. And it sucks. It sucks to lose an asset."

None of that says anything different than what I am saying. 

He says, "I know for a fact they have a plan they feel good about." 

Then "They HAD [his use of past tense is just highlighting that this is something they have had working for awhile] a second plan in which they lose Brunson" (same point as the first sentence). 

Then, "We've [back to present tense because the plan is still in place] got an alternate plan." 

Then like I have been saying, "Now that may have been muddied by the KD news." This is the caveat. The KD news might mess up the plan some or totally. 

This all points to as of July 1 the Mavs ACTIVELY HAVING a second plan in place.

The "But they wanted to get assets for Brunson" is him backing up to what he had been saying BEFORE talking about this back plan. Hium referring to them wanting to trade JB at the TDL before which he had talked about before this.
