We're fucked because of KP's max deal and Donnie being useless for so long. That's it. Nico split that KP deal into two, but we're still saddled with that ridiculous salary with Luka's max deal kicking in too.

If we weren't in cap/tax hell, it would be another story, but let's not be disingenuous with our reporting. It's not Cuban balking over spending 5 million.

Don't get the people started with "fuck it, it's just Cuban's money and not mine, don't care" - as if billionaires got to that point being financially fucking stupid.

It would be asinine to pay up $130MM for Brunson for that first year, just stupid money. Cuban might have a lot of money, but you still have to be responsible. And that a significant chunk of his net worth, which a lot of people have a hard time understanding that's not liquid...
