Recently, lone ranger player Brunson's father, Rick Brunson, was interviewed by tim McMahon and talked about Brunson's contract extension. Because Brunson played very well against the Jazz in the playoffs. Brunson's old father's words were particularly domineering.
In an interview, the elder Brunson revealed that he had communicated with the Lone Rangers before the start of the season, hoping to get Brunson to renew his contract in advance, but the Lone Rangers refused. In January of this year, Brunson began to play well enough, and the elder Brunson once again proposed to renew his contract, but was still rejected by the Lone Rangers.
The First Round of the Playoffs Lone Rangers vs Jazz failed to play in the first three games due to Doncic's injury at the end of the regular season. Brunson got more possession and chances, and Brunson played phenomenal. Brunson averaged 29.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in the 38.4 minutes per game.
Brunson's outstanding performance also made his old father domineering. When it came to the renewal of the contract again, the elder Brunson said domineeringly: "You refused first." When you come back to him, we'll say, 'We want to finish this season first and then talk about contract extensions.' ’”
As can be seen from the words of the elder Brunson, he still tends to let Brunson stay with the Lone Rangers. There is one meaning outside the words: you have to add money! From here, it can be seen that the old Brunson and the Lone Rangers are quite good at ball. Some fans think that Brunson should now get a long-term contract with an average salary of more than 30 million, which I think is actually a manifestation of not understanding the ball.
Brunson has improved significantly this season since the second half of the regular season. In the playoffs in particular, it went from averaging 8 points per game last season to 29.8 points per game this season. However, the gold content of such performance still needs to be carefully considered. The Lone Rangers' relatively open tactics on the offensive end this season have given Brunson a better chance. Meanwhile, the first round of the playoffs is the Jazz, a big colander team on the outside, and Brunson is against mitchell, who is even worse defensive. Therefore, for the gold content of this data, it is normal for the Management of the Lone Rangers to hesitate.
Brunson's shortcomings are still very obvious, because of his height, defense is a big problem. In the NBA, there have been many players who have suddenly exploded in a series or at a certain time. Especially this outbreak of contract years, easy to send big contracts, it is easy to lay mines for the team. Brunson, who earns $1.8 million this season, will be a restricted free agent by the end of the season.
Many fans believe that Brunson should not think too highly of himself. The Lone Ranger team can give an average salary of about 15 million to sign it. Some fans said: Don't become Little Thomas! Don't take the power of the platform for your own!
