Now what?

Multiple reports now saying there is no meeting with the Heat and never was. It was always a bullshit ploy by JB?s camp to squeeze more money out of the Knicks and make this look legit versus the obvious farce it is. Don?t let the door hit you JB.

Goes to show even the best reporters get this stuff wrong. Now I do think the meeting with Dallas is just to save face for tampering.

Next.

Why are the Mavs always in the middle of craziness during FA season? Maybe Cuban and Nico should lock JB in a hotel room and not let him leave until he signs. Keep daddy outside and force the young man to make his own decision. Just kidding, but the Mavs' stories around this time of year seem always full of intrigue and tend towards the melodramatic.

In the past I think it's that the players the Mavs were chasing just so happened to be particularly melodramatic- Dwight Howard on multiple occasions, Deron Williams, Deandre Jordan... This time though it has way more to do with the Knicks that the Mavs. Who knew the Knicks would go all out and build their whole offseason around chasing a mid-tier player like Brunson.

Yup, every summer, Mavs are in the middle of a scrum, with cap space to add, or a player to lose.

The Nuggets locked McDyess in the Pepsi Center during an Avalanche game....unknown to McDyess, Kidd, Chapman and McCloud were outside and not allowed in to talk to McDyess..I think if he goes to the Knicks for cheaper than our offer....would think this was all a charades to keep the tampering investigators off the Knicks tail.

To be fair, the report says that the Heat don't have a meeting scheduled today, not that they aren't meeting with Brunson at all. Haynes' initial report only said that Brunson was meeting with the Heat, he didn't specify a day.

That being said, there is no way he goes to Miami. He probably is meeting with them, but just to stoke the bidding war.
