REPORT: Jalen Brunson and his camp “laughed” off the Mavs’ 4-year, $55M extension offer in 2022, per @TheSteinLine
“The Brunson camp basically laughed at them and said, 'Uh, we'll take our chances in free agency now, you guys had your chance.'... The Mavs still had the option at that point of picking up the phone and saying, 'Jalen, we completely screwed this up, we are deeply sorry, we've disrespected you, we want to make this right, we're going to offer you 150 over five.'”

KAT is basically trying to process grief over his mom’s death by playing the best basketball of his life in these finals and I could not be rooting for him harder.
