It has been speculated even before free agency began that Jalen Brunson will sign a four-year, $104 million contract with the Knicks. And there have also been rumors that the Mavericks were unhappy that they didn’t believe they had a chance to retain Brunson once free agency started.
However, those rumors do not seem to be true. Dallas owner Mark Cuban said he isn’t too upset with how it all played out and he understands why Brunson made his decision.
“It really wasn’t about the amount of money,” Cuban said, via Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News.
