Mavericks' Jalen Brunson Could Be Last 2nd Rounder On Straight Four-Year Deal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Nov 4, 2021 8:51 pm

Jalen Brunson will be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 after the Dallas Mavericks signed him to a four-year deal after drafting him 33rd in 2018.


Brunson scored 31 points on Wednesday and is generally considered one of the NBA's best bench guards.


Bobby Marks writes: "The Mavericks committed contract malpractice with Jalen Brunson after he was drafted in the 2nd rd. We will (or should) never see a straight 4 year contract without a team option in year 4 again."

What about Lu Dort of OKC? Same type of 4-year deal, expiring in 2023, except Dort will make even less than Brunson.
