How about a championship team letting half the team walk for nothing? A strong argument can be made that Cuban decided at that point he was not going to spend like he did before and used the new agreement/plan powder as excuses.
That being said, I am firmly in the camp that believes Brunson was going to NY and there was likely little we could do about it. The mistakes were made with the original contract, not offering the extension (which I'm not sure he would have taken) and not trading him to NY at the TDL.
