Harrison: One, us not re-signing [Jalen] wasn’t our choice.
I hate to dig this up again as the volume of 'Brunson-I told you so' posts is down considerably (but this is the NY game Saturday). I don't trust anything anyone has said in this episode. Not Nico, Not Cuban and Not Rick Brunson. But, I've always thought that by the time the summer came around it was too late.
I think the mistakes were not trading him at the TDL and presuming NY would need to deal with Dallas to get to the number they needed to hit. Brunson got a big pay day, family and a starring role in NY. Two of those things were not available in Dallas and none of us truly know what was and wasn't offered here financially.
