MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

The timeline is a crafted PR spin.  Brunson wants to maintain the image of the "good guy" saying he wanted to be in all along Dallas instead of just coming out and saying he wanted more money, bigger role and to be in NYC. 

Brunson was basically scheduled to NYC as soon as Rose (his Godfather) was hired.

Nah, man. That doesn’t make any sense to me at all. It makes much less sense for Brunson, the guy who bet on himself, won, and is now in a way better position than he ever would have been in Dallas, to “craft” anything for Dallas fans/media. More likely that he doesn’t even think about it until he is asked.

Cuban, on the other hand, has been known to “craft” narratives for the reasons you mention, and stick to them for years after it’s obvious to everyone he got owned. Happened with Nash, drafting Giannis, etc. Hell, he might still be trying to pretend Tyson Chandler left Dallas for New York, as if the one-year offer he made was legitimate.

If, at this point, you are still arguing that the Mavericks did not drop the ball on the Brunson situation, you’re just not wanting to see it. The reality is that they drafted him, they didn’t believe in him, they let him get away, and now, New York is literally a better team than the Mavericks. Not by much, and maybe not for long, but they were nowhere close to the Mavericks the summer before he left.

Winner: Brunson. Loser: Mavericks. Everything else is just a semantic, pointless debate.
