Sometimes, they got into this portion where I felt sorry for them. Since it was pretty aggressive and complicated for negotiation or rather a unique one in many different ways”.
Cuban explains further that he did not have any grievance against the Brunson family. Cuban said, “There are definitely no hard feelings at all. Seeing your dad and I walk past each other is always fun. I give him a look; he gives me a look, we both smile and walk away.
All's well that ends." He added that Brunson is 'the king of New York' and was quite happy for Brunson and the Mavericks. Brunson has been consistent throughout his NBA career since then. Last season, he averaged a staggering 28.7 points and 6.7 assists per game, good for fifth place in MVP polls.
In July, he agreed to a four-year, $156.5 million extension with the Knicks when he could have earned more if he had waited one more year.
