By joefu Go To PostYeah, but at some point, it seemed like he was just set on NY anyways. Unless the Mavs offered the absolute max (which they would then get clowned on for I'm sure) I don't think there was any way he was going to stay.I mean, if that's the case, that's the case. But shorting him only shows that you shorted him instead of we did what we could.
It's just funny considering that Kyrie is like 37 million and their numbers are quite close☹️
NY overpaid and Brunson elevated his game to match. Only thing Dallas could've/should've done was buy-low a year prior.

Either way, it was multiple failures, which first started with the stupid contract Donnie Nelson gave him. People will keep bringing it up, but the dude was booty against the Clippers, starting going crazy when the Mavs started doing well around Christmas, which then it was too late to offer him the extension since he was going to bet on himself.
By DY_nasty Go To PostNY overpaid and Brunson elevated his game to match. Only thing Dallas could've/should've done was buy-low a year prior.they didn't even talk to him about his extension until he started balling his last year in Dallas.
I don't even think there were signs he would take the extension. His dad was out there doing PR for him like he was going to, but really who actually knows lol.
By blackace Go To Postthey didn't even talk to him about his extension until he started balling his last year in Dallas.They definitely did lol. Brunson described both negotiations at length on JJ's podcast.
By joefu Go To PostI don't even think there were signs he would take the extension. His dad was out there doing PR for him like he was going to, but really who actually knows lol.Yeah, Brunson was talking about how the first contract number was something he couldn't even take serious due to Rick's mixed signals and the fact he didn't get the opportunity to actually assess the market.
By DY_nasty Go To PostThey definitely did lol. Brunson described both negotiations at length on JJ's podcast.I guess I missed that.
The reports when he were this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/nba.nbcsports.com/2022/04/25/report-mavericks-didnt-offer-jalen-brunson-contract-extension-until-after-trade-deadline/amp/
Dallas could have signed Brunson to a four-year extension for as much as $55.5 million before the season, but the Mavs didn’t offer it then nor did they engage in negotiations with Brunson’s representatives.
Nor were the Mavs willing to make that commitment midseason
By joefu Go To PostI don't even think there were signs he would take the extension. His dad was out there doing PR for him like he was going to, but really who actually knows lol.Yeah, could be right about that.
4/55 was slightly better devonte graham off a bad season money man lol
and on top of that, if devonte had signed *before* lamelo got drafted, then the guy is probably making 100 mil too. that's the bracket he was lined up with - and there's really no room to navigate between those types of deals and the FVV level contracts

By joefu Go To PostI don't even think there were signs he would take the extension. His dad was out there doing PR for him like he was going to, but really who actually knows lol.He wasn't really impressing anyone prior so I think he would have taken the 4/55m extension if they had offered it.
Then he had a good season last season and stepped up when Luka was injured for a few games in the playoffs. That's all it takes to get a good contract offer now because teams are willing to take that chance that you can keep performing at that level.
By reilo Go To PostI have no idea where Mavs will get defense on the wing from
More Josh Green I guess
the finney-smith random propaganda boost out of nowhere is hilarious. dude ain't even jamario moon or anthony tolliver status
nobody cares when wing stunt doubles get changed out

An example of being so into stats that you are missing the forest for the trees.

By reilo Go To PostNobody's confusing him with Mikal Bridges but now they went from something to nothing on that endDFS has played 30+ minutes for *years*.
randoms off the street have played better and earned contracts across the league in that time. the only reason people even acknowledge his defense is because he's better at staying in front of people than bertans and tyler bey and wes iwundu and so on.
his best quality is that he shows up, is a likeable guy, and fouls hard when he needs to. look at the revolving door of dumpster fire wings on the mavs the past 5 years. of all the shit they've thrown at the wing position wall, DFS's game is the stickiest.
By Kibner Go To PostKevin Pelton believed as recently as last season that DFS is a better/more valuable player than Ingram. An example of being so into stats that you are missing the forest for the trees.arguably the biggest waste of minutes in the league
I actually like DFS as the fifth starter. He is an honestly good defender (if not particularly disruptive) and can usually make corner 3s. He's just not providing anything else. I'm sure JoeFu can correct me if I'm wrong; he's watched the guy for roughly 200x more minutes than I have.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe finney-smith random propaganda boost out of nowhere is hilarious. dude ain't even jamario moon or anthony tolliver statusi thought i was going crazy it was universally agreed up to 72 hours ago that dude was mid as fuck at best
nobody cares when wing stunt doubles get changed out
By DY_nasty Go To PostDFS makes Marvin Williams look like Kawhi LeonardI love DFS, but he is overrated lol. He is a guy that will play his heart out, and that's all you can really ask for. Also helps he became an almost 40% 3pt shooter. He hasn't shot as well this season though.
you can say it joefu
Mavs have gotten cooked by multiple dudes at the wing, but then again, he was one of 2 people (other being Kleber) that actually tried to play defense on the Mavs the last 5 years lol.
By domino Go To Posti thought i was going crazy it was universally agreed up to 72 hours ago that dude was mid as fuck at bestHachimura effect
By domino Go To Posti thought i was going crazy it was universally agreed up to 72 hours ago that dude was mid as fuck at besti think reggie bullock still doesn't have 10 games with 4 or more field goals made lol. both those dudes two flat tires on the wings
Someone posted that tweet that showed Mavs ranked 30th in basically every category without Luka
Everyone on that team is straight up garbage.

By domino Go To Postclassic movie 10/10I never thought id see anything related to that movie again lol
By Omzz Go To PostCam thomas with 40 againI always wondered if Cam and Yuta speak Japanese to each other...
KYRIE WHO
By DY_nasty Go To Postcam and claxton need to press charges against nash
😂
By blackace Go To PostI always wondered if Cam and Yuta speak Japanese to each other…Does Cam speak Japanese? He was just born on base, right?
Did the NBA get rid of referee alternates? Second time this season the Blazers are playing a game with only 2 refs.
By Omzz Go To PostCam thomas with 40 againHow is Ben Simmons escaping this slander?
KYRIE WHO
5 YEARS 177 MILLION DOLLARS
By diehard Go To PostDoes Cam speak Japanese? He was just born on base, right?I don't know. A lot of kids born on base speak some Japanese if they grew up here. Especially if he lived in like Negishi housing and whatnot.
By reilo Go To PostDid the NBA get rid of referee alternates? Second time this season the Blazers are playing a game with only 2 refs.Disasterclass as anticipated
By domino Go To PostScript reading kinda weak fr
someone tell him to do another take but w/ more feeling this time
By diehard Go To PostI dunno these Mavs players looking pretty good now that they get to actually touch the ballthey played the jazz without luka last time and did horrible
By joefu Go To Postthey played without luka last time and did horribleI'm mostly just talking shit. Josh Green and Jaden Hardy do look good, though.
If we lose this game the tank better be fully on so lets go.
Lauri out on the floor and Rudy Gay going one on one from 20 feet is hilarious.
