Jalen Brunson says Dallas could've had him for $55M, then went silent after he became their playoff star
"We tried to extend our contract, the most we can get was like four years and $55 million. obviously I wanted to do that, I wanted to stay there, I thought I would be there for a long time"
"there's a period where Luka went out and I started to start, I was playing really well, I think I was averaging like 20 and like 6… we went back, we're like hey, if the deal's there, I'll do it right now still"
"the deal came on the table after the trade deadline, I was like NO, I think I've outgrown that now"
