Not true at all.
I proposed trades at the TDL (what most now wish the FO had done) because I knew he was gone...not because I didn't like him. I think NY paid too much and that Brunson won't look nearly as good in NY at that money (with no spacing) as he looked here. I can certainly understand Dallas not wanting to pay that much. I don't think it really mattered what Dallas did or did not do. Brunson was always more likely to leave than stay. People just didn't want to see it or wanted to project their own feelings into what Brunson 'should' do (like we all have experience making $100-million decisions).
