Mark Cuban: "We Can Pay Jalen Brunson More Than Anybody"
3 years agoFree-agent guard Jalen Brunson is coming off the best season of his career, averaging a career-high 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. As a result, the 25-year-old will unquestionably receive plenty of interest from teams throughout the league over the summer. However, team owner Mark Cuban believes Brunson wants to remain with the team. "We can pay him more than anybody," Cuban recently stated while speaking with NBA insider Marc Stein. The Mavericks have Bird rights, so the organization will have the ability to offer Brunson an even more lucrative deal, which undoubtedly will increase the chances he'll remain in Dallas. Nevertheless, wherever the former Villanova Wildcat ends up, he should continue to be a primary contributor for any club throughout the league. However, if he stays, Brunson will continue to battle for the offensive scraps left over by Luka Doncic.
