The only real downside to paying him a boatload is that he would have been hard to trade. And honestly, who cares? Just another guy that you're stuck with for a couple of years, who then becomes extremely valuable in the final year of his deal.
Other than him just being harder to trade, what is the risk in overpaying him? I'm honestly thinking Cuban just doesn't want to go deeper into the luxury tax. I'm hoping that's not the case, but that's what it seems like.

Brunson at 27 would def not be hard to trade especially with the cap going up. That would be like top 50/60 in contract money. There?s literally zero risk to signing him to that amount. I think it seriously comes down to Cuban not wanting to pay. This is why I was worried overall with Nico cause Cuban is always going to call shots of this caliber.
