NEW YORK — The Jalen Brunson sweepstakes started with more confidence from the Mavericks.
Not long after his team was eliminated in the Western Conference finals, owner Mark Cuban said Brunson, a free agent this summer, “wants to stay” and noted Dallas holds the financial advantage.
“We can pay him more than anybody,” Cuban told NBA scribe Marc Stein. “And I think he wants to stay and that’s what is most important.”
