Very good move on a talented kid who will get a chance to put in minutes and show his worth. TJ is very good player but teams would and should be wary of his injuries.
Curious if Nash sticks it out. Does he want the opportunity to really coach now?

Also in the summer of fun..........Atkinson moved on from Charlotte knowing Miles Bridges was a ticking time bomb? Did he find Lamelo to be a bit of a young diva and deal with Lavar and that nonsense?
Was he told he'd be in Kerr's shoes in two years and really he is developing the yoot for himself going foward?
I saw met with Jordan after Atkinson rescinded his acceptance but no mention of why he did not step into the role. He was seen as the close runner up to Atkinson. Could be the same reason Kenny back out?

Good catch, hadn’t thought about that

Dallas seems intent on picking up his year two contract.
Once a MaverKnick, always a MaverKnick!

Well, they could become PistKnicks without too much trouble.

If he is healthy. I was hoping we could grab him but honestly him going to the warriors on a show and prove two year contract with a player option makes sense.

Yeah literally think Aston and Durant holding up entire league.

Noon ET today

7. Jalen Brunson, PG, Dallas: $29,371,294

Brunson’s strong playoff run for the Mavericks seemingly silenced some of the chatter that A) Dallas might be willing to let him walk, and B) another team could get him for well below the max. Now it seems like any serious offer would have to be for at least $100 million over the next four years, somewhat limiting the potential suitors given the greater difficulty of meeting that threshold in a sign-and-trade. (If you’re wondering about the Knicks, for instance, they’d have to dangle a lot of not terribly desirable filler in front of the Mavs to get a deal done. Good luck with that.)

As a small guard coming off a career year, this BORD$ valuation is likely at the high end of where the league sees Brunson, but he should be able to get into the $25 million a year range.

The more interesting question is what this might do for Dallas’ plans. Increasing his salary from last year’s paltry $1.8 million to such a princely sum will also put the Mavs about $30 million over the luxury-tax line and produce a whopping $85 million check to the league. Something’s gotta give here.

11. Mitchell Robinson, C, New York (restricted): $18,862,212

Robinson supported the idea of paying him like a starting five by staying in the lineup for 72 games last season; the 7-footer also is in the rare position of being an unrestricted free agent at just 24 years old. His athleticism is such that he shoots 72.2 percent for his career and has blocked 7.7 percent of opponent shots in that time, making him an ideal candidate for the shot-blocker/rim-runner role.

So what’s the hold-up? There’s some concern that Robinson has bulked up too much (playing last year at 270 pounds) and that it’s taken away some of the bounciness that had been his best attribute. Additionally, with no skill level or shooting range to speak of, Robinson can be a very limited option offensively, with last season’s 11.4 percent usage rate serving as a prime example.

Overall, I’ll take the under on his BORD$ estimate, even with the upside of his age, but I do think he settles into a deal not too far below this amount annually.

No worries. They will amend that after they actually sign. They will have over paid Brunson (even though a $100 mil contract was predicted) and overpaid an injury prone center.
