How do you answer the inevitable questions about paying double for Kyrie compared to Brunson and doing so with knowledge of the limitations of the new CBA?
Let me try to answer as the man who thinks is the smartest man in the room. We have seen plenty that comments from smartest man in the room aren't always really smart.
We would offer Brunson much more money, but we were never given a chance. He wanted to be in NY, so there is really nothing to compare here. Irving is a top 10 player in the league and how would you put value on that? There is only 10 top players in the league, you can't really put value on that. Considering everything, one could say we underpaid.
