This one isn't on someone tampering, it's on the Mavs 100%. The FACT that the Mavs told Brunson or his people they didn't want to commit to an extension until AFTER the trade deadline -- the obvious reason being they needed to be able to shop him with a small contract -- left no mystery they were viewing him as a "trade asset" rather than as an integral part of the team's future.
