In a lot of ways a 2 year extension makes more sense for him than the full 4.
That contract in 2 years would be absolutely massive if he can keep up the defensive effort from the past couple weeks. He's much more likely to get a large deal at 30 than 32+
If he wants the 4 year right now, it'd make more sense to just wait for the summer time and see if a playoff run can Brunson his pay up
But that's from his perspective. I feel it's a bit dumb from the Mavs side not to offer the full 4 years now. That's a very tradable deal that offers a lot of upside
