Generally agree. As a Mavs follower, I knew Brunson was good, but I never expected to see his superstar-level breakout with the Knicks. Jalen's dad did the right thing - get his son out of Luka's big shadow. I believe Cuban never had a chance.
What Mavs did wrong was signing Brunson to a
four-year deal without a team option. Usually rookie contracts have a QO on the third year so they become an UFA sa last year and you can match any contract they sign. Donnie didn't do that. Ewan ko bakit. If they did that, Dallas would have easily kept Brunson. Wala nga lang trabaho yung sexual predator na tatay, lol.
I believe that's the Mark Cuban version of the story behind this exodus of Jalen Brunson to the Knicks. He made it a point to spin it to the media that he had zero chance of retaining JB because of his Dad and that tampering was involved. Cuban has a huge clout in the NBA circles hence the tampering allegation
And he was correct that there was tampering involved. NBA investigated,
determined it true, and fined them a pick!
I usually don't believe what Cuban says, in fact bwisit na bwisit na ako sa kanya (e.g. hiring a coach without an interview, keeping people employed na may mga pinaggagawa na kabalastugan, scamming fans with crypto) and wish he just leave the Mavs. Pero in this case, tama yung mga claims niya.
