It's impossible to know if that's true. But it's certainly possible that, just so long as some financial basics were part of the equation, JB wanted to be a Knick. That would be unusual that other factors besides money were so high on his list, but it's certainly possible.
Of course it is possible. But, I would be far more comfortable about that reading news how Mavs offered something like 110 or 120 mil, instead of 90 mil. The predominant media opinion was, that Mavs didn't think Brunson is worth the 100 mil NY gave him.
