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...

So is the goal to ensure that Mark is comfortably under the cap in 3 years and makes 150 million per year regardless of team outcome? Why do you care what Mark pays? Perhaps he should take on an ownership group that could help with the actual cash cost of having a supermax player surrounded by a competent cast. If the goal is cost certainty then either sell the team or trade Luka for a bunch of disposable parts that could easily be shed to keep Mark from paying his precious luxury tax... Poor Mark
