If contradictory information comes out regarding JB's desire to stay or go, it could be Rick Brunson stirring the pot. He most certainly wants JB in NY and thereby might be trying to force the issue. In the end, it could very well be "will JB stand up to his father if he prefers to stay in Dallas or give in to the familial pressure". Put another way, is Papa Brunson willing to push his son to sign with the Knicks at all costs and will JB cave to those wishes?
A more diabolical reasoning would be "Is Daddy just wanting to milk every possible penny out of Cuban's pocket by leaking misinformation to the press?" In other words, they both know JB is going to stay in Dallas, but let's get the biggest possible paycheck.
Bottom line: It is difficult to interpret these statements in any meaningful way.
