I think the “window” timing is not solidified, but I’m pretty sure there was a window of opportunity to get the extension done. Rumor has it that Dal didn’t offer cause they were trying to package him in a deal, pretty much all season, including trying to get a SnT with NYK done in the end.
From what I hear Jalen say, he had a window there where he planned to make his career long term in Dallas and even discussed accepting an extension if they Mavs offered it. The Mavs didn't offer in that window, Brunson's play continued to blow up, enter the NY Knicks and it was all over that point.
For those that have followed it more closely, do I have this summarized pretty accurately?
