My understanding is that Cuban, Nico and crew flew out to NY because they had already scheduled a meeting with Brunson, and only for him to then cancel. That's the definition of stringing us along.

Again, what's done is done, so move on, but nobody is going to convince me that I have to like it.

But PLEASE everyone spare me with the "don't blame Jalen, Mavs had their chance!!" shit. The Mavs screwed up not giving the extension, but to cancel a meeting hours before and not even let them make an offer is a bitch move and you're not going to convince me otherwise.

It's over, so I'm perfectly ready to move on. But fuck off trying to convince me that I shouldn't dislike it.

I really do get the frustration. I wonder if more should be placed closer to Daddy Brunsons feet than Jalens. I'm looking at the perspective of how after the fact that we didn't re-sign him, moving along this season everyone in the organization FO/coaches basically said "Jalens is going to get paid, and thats what he deserves". JKidd even went so far as to offer his services to be his agent because he was definitely getting paid.

It's likely going to be years before the truth of what happened behind closed doors comes out. My intuition is that Dad manipulated and persuaded. It's a bummer that a sNt couldn't have been worked out but that's part of the business I guess.

Confirming Sixers expected to finalize a three-year, $33.2 million deal with P.J. Tucker, as @Shams Charania first reported.

I actually like his game. I guess he's fine with being a reserve....

Mavs back in the same position as every offseason with their pants down. Idk why I expected differently this year.

Naw you don't have to like it. I'm pissed. I didn't care if Brunson was brought back I'm just pissed we lost a asset for nothing. And this is a team that doesn't have many of them. Now they have to somehow try to get better without compensation other than picks...

Thespiralgoeson · 06-30-2022, 05:13 PM

"Mavs brass has indeed been informed by Jalen Brunson that he will sign with the Knicks.

In addition, in response to the rumors about Dallas pursuing a trade for Kyrie Irving, a high-ranking Mavs front office source replied no chance."

Well at least there's that.

Melonhead · 06-30-2022, 05:14 PM

House signs with 76ers

I mean what they did in getting Wood....they're already ahead of the curve for a typical offseason.....but I feel you man....you can just feel them wasting Luka's years....

I mean if they package the Lakers are giving up is Russell Westbrook....then yeah its certainly no chance because they don't have anything to trade for him.

Who is on people's at least somewhat reasonable wishlist now?

Thespiralgoeson · 06-30-2022, 05:16 PM

Stein-

"As covered in two previous pieces, Dallas is not expected to immediately pursue guards after losing Jalen Brunson.

With Spencer Dinwiddie in place and Tim Hardaway Jr. due back from injury, Goran Dragic IS a strong eventual target after the Mavs chase wing and front-line depth."

This is so strange to me because I feel like we desperately need at least 3 ballhandlers, but I guess the Mavs feel otherwise? Or maybe they're just really confident that they'll get what they need from Dragic??

I mean, I want Schroder. I feel like he comes quite close to making up for the loss of Brunson, but apparently the Mavs don't agree.

Yep he only became an assistant June 2nd

Rick Brunson has long has ties with the Knicks and was an assistant Thibadeau before.

I'd find you that article from last summer, but there is too much junk with the recent news to find it.

Free agent forward Joe Ingles reached an agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks, league sources tell @YahooSports.

After seeing what Portis and PJ Tucker just got....I don't even know if I can answer this question lol...I'm guessing Malik Monk and GP2 are going to get far more than I'm expecting them too.

Monk went to the Kings 2 years 19 mil.

Imagine having Tim Hardaway and Dinwiddie and thinking "you're good" at guard. Man smh.....

I agree with this. It?s a bitch move but if his mind is already made up, he?s wasting both their times. JB shouldn?t of been talking to the Knicks in the first place but we see where his loyalty lies. Not a huge loss though. He was a major liability defensively.

Could be that Kidd had him in LA and didn't like the behind the scenes things with him.

He was far from it on the offensive end and to be honest....I think our defense was fine with him out there. As far as his replacement....I'm not looking for defense to replace him.

Looks like Mavs gonna go after the Knicks for tampering...

Bamba is staying with the Magic 2 years 21 mil.

BAD POST

EricaLubarsky · 06-30-2022, 05:28 PM

But seriously, Silver has to punish Knicks. Common punishment for tampering is second round picks. If those picks were the ones Pistons got, then that trade is invalidated and Knicks don't have the room to sign JB. What happens then?

JustJay · 06-30-2022, 05:28 PM

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $214 million contract.

Good point, didn't think of that. Schroder is apparently a bit of a malcontent.

Still, I really hope A: they actually get Dragic this time, and B: he actually has something left in the tank, because only having two ball handlers on the team is not a recipe for success.

DevinHarriswillstart · 06-30-2022, 05:28 PM

Bamba 2/21 back to the Magic. lol all that media talk over nothing.

I hope so. It happens but this is one of the worst instances I've of it I've seen.

Welp lol...

That's fake, because he can only sign a 4 year contract with another team. Plus "Blazetd" lol.

Wow so tampering is only a 2nd round pick? Man...if that's all it is no wonder teams do it. That's not much of a penalty.

tap2390 · 06-30-2022, 05:31 PM

What the fuck is Brunson mad about?? That he didn't get a $55m offer from a team that is now offering him double?? Isn't that every player's dream? To play themselves into a better deal??

All of this talk about JB feeling slighted is bullshit and posturing to cover the nepotism and tampering, and shield JB from the criticism for downgrading his squad.
