Brunson could be looking at a contract that starts as low as $20 million annually with offers getting as high as $25 million annually. He bounced back from a poor 2021 playoff performance with a superb outing this postseason, so that should help maintain his value heading into free agency. Brunson could be a sign-and-trade candidate to an over-the-cap team if Dallas decides they do not want a big tax burden this season and could get a first-round pick and atrade exception instead.
