Following the season ending loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, Marc Stein spoke with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and one of the topics which came up was the impending free agency for starting guard Jalen Brunson.
“We can pay him more than anybody,” Cuban said, “and I think he wants to stay and that’s most important.”
Cuban was alluding to the fifth year which the Dallas Mavericks can offer Brunson, one more than any other team can offer. “I think JB blossomed as much as anybody on this squad,” Cuban went on to tell Stein.
