 I guess I just balk at the price. 26 mil for Brunson doesn't sit right with me. Although I was perfectly fine with 22 mil a year, and at that point what's the difference between 4 mil a year there? And there was a good stretch of time I was fine with 5/125.

The thing is the Mavs would've had to do 5/143 to "match" the Knicks contract. Is that not too much still? What if the Knicks threw 4/120? Would y'all hypothetically be okay with 5/170 for JB? Just wondering what the limit is here you're willing to pay for Brunson.

In the situation the Mavs created the limit would be to match or exceed whatever the Knicks offered. 5/143 mean 28.6 per year over five years. With the right structure that´s not terrible. Would still have him outside the top 40 highest paid players next season.
