This is all coming from JB's father, who does not handle his contract negotiations. Here is a report back in January by Bleacher Report that Brunson was looking for $20 million AAV.

Maybe stretching of the "truth" in Timmy Mac's article or maybe it is the truth. Who really knows but it doesn't really matter, this is where the Mavs are now.
Brunson averaged 18/4/5 on 50/39/85 shooting splits in 61 games as a starter. In 4 playoff games, he's averaging 30/5/5 on 48/41/86 shooting splits. Those are all-star caliber numbers whether you like to admit it or not; signing a player of this ilk for a non-Max contract is a rarity in today's NBA.
