Ha, ha, ha, this Dallas news article is just lol on so many levels. Even if Cuban is just taking the blame to not throw Nico and Kidd under the bus, it actually makes them look more stupid. Basically saying Nico is a puppet and Cuban is making decisions Nico is supposed to be hired to do.
On the Brunsons front. No idea what Brunsons dad motive would be to lie about Mavs not accepting the extension. It would be just stupid for him to lie like that. On the other hand it is pretty clear what Cubans motive to lie is. That text exchange from LATE January doesn't really prove anything. Article itself says that (allegedly) Brunsons representatives came to Dallas with the 55 mil extension in EARLY January. Could those obviously unrealistic demands from LATE January be a result of rejected deal in EARLY January? I see a world where this is possible.
As for the summer things related to Brunson. Basically everyone knew what Knicks offer to Brunson was, well before June 30th. Cuban however claims he didn't know. It also indicates that while it is clear to everyone that discussions are done way before June 30th, Cuban makes it look like Mavs are the only ones waiting till June 30th to discuss. Even with own players...
I totally agree Luka is not a leader. What THJ Sr is saying without saying it is also, that THJ Jr is not a leader
