I remember the discussions about Brunson and his contract...few knew what to offer and the big deal was size and defense and offering too much would be stupid.
I got laughed at for suggesting Designating him after he went on a heater a few games. And that suggestion was during all the heated debates about what to offer him or what his worth was.
You can scrape this board for posters messages...I think I was the only one that suggested Designating him. Unless its a different player Im thinking about and I remember correctly...most here were saying not to pay him more than 20M.
Im a casual and I knew Brunson's offensive talent his rookie year. I started on this forum like his 2nd season. It was all about his size and playoff defense that were scaring people. No one was about maxing him out here. I think maybe there was a brief discussion about paying him what he wanted and then deal with offloading him later if it didnt work out.
Swear the general consensus was to not go more than 20M per on him.
