I mean, Brunson is the reason we are even in the second round of the playoffs. If you don't keep that, then what's the point? It's just simple logic here. Either you care about money or you care about winning. You can't have both at this juncture with this team.

That’s my stance on it. If Cuban still cares about winning he makes a competitive offer. I just hope if an agreement can’t be reached right away that JB comes to Cuban with whatever offer he has on the table, and gives him a chance to match it before he signs anything.

There will be no discount. On that you can be sure.

I worry that Cuban will screw this up by trying a low-ball amount to begin negotiations. The Brunson group is offended by the opening offer and say "screw you Mavs, we are insulted by your offer". Maybe Nico will be a positive influence and/or Cuban has learned from previous mistakes, but Mavs history brings more anxiety than there should be. This is pretty straight forward if you don't try something cute.

I’m not expecting any discount. I think you start at 5 year/$100 million. I think we are the only team that can offer a 5th year, so if that’s true at least we have that going for us. I think JB is a true hooper, so him securing a big deal isn’t going to make him stop working on his game. I hope and think he stays.

This is very reasonable and I agree with all of this. He’s a true hooper and a winner. He’d rather be with a contending team.
