And stupid to not at least offer the same money than NYK.
I agree that with hindsight they were dumb to not offer Brunson an extension last summer. Although I find it curious you think it would've been such an obvious move given how Brunson was played off the court during that playoff series. But I digress. We've been over the extension and whether or not if it was real at all.
If the pre-FA rumors were to be believed, the Mavs offered Brunson 5yrs/110mil. Which is a little bit more than what he got from NYK total money wise (4/104). If you wanted the Mavs to offer the same exact AAV, then they should've given JB 5/142 mil w/8% max raises (or 5/135 w/5% raises)
Do you think Brunson is worth that? Last 2 years are 30+ mil.
