@TheWojBombers Brunson requested the 4yrs/$55M extension after a subpar 1st round playoff series vs. the Clippers and while he was in the starting lineup with Luka about a third of the way of the '21-'22 season. The Knicks and his agent didn't give the Mavs a fair chance in free agency.
@PeterPonceVO@SportsSturm The Luka extension with the Mavs started in 2023. If the Mavs signed Brunson, they would've been way over the salary cap. That would result in financial penalties and limited future transactions. The Mavs would still be the same team that lost to GS in WCF.
@bosleyv23 The Knicks didn't want Brunson to talk to the Mavs. Brunson's agent is Sam Rose, the son of the Knicks president. Rose wouldn't tell Cuban what the Knicks' offer was before the meeting. Cuban wanted to offer a contract that wouldn't put the Mavs in a bind.
@01ppgsw@NickVanExit Why did Brunson go to New York at the start of free agency? Do you really think that Cuban wouldn't make an offer to Brunson?
The Knicks conspired against the Mavs, and Brunson's agent helped.
@JohnBea59958156 Chevrolet produced exactly 5,274 "Riverside Red" Corvettes for the 1964 model year. Out of the 22,229 total Corvettes built that year, Riverside Red was the most popular color choice, accounting for roughly 23.7% of the entire production run.
