Looks like Brunson himself has gone public with his version of the non-extension. I personally am happy where the Mavs are as I'm sure the Knicks feel the same. In the end, Brunson got paid a lot more and gets to run his own team. No one ever mentions the hiring of his dad and uncle/godfather or whatever as a pretty key detail in him going to NY.
Regardless, another anecdote of the failure of the previous FO, namely Donnie Nelson. First for not tacking on the 4th year on a 2nd round pick, and then again for allegedly turning down the initial early extension twice.
I'm glad to have Nico and a lesser version of Cuban.
