Superstar
Yes it was he had a way bigger offer from the Pistons. He just knew he wasn’t going to start over Cade Cunningham. Similar situation here, he’s not starting over Brunson
If it was just about a bag and starting, he would've just stayed in Washington.
But I guess in terms of what I said before, you're right he "had a choice". But that contending team with a bag beyond the MLE AND a hole at starting PG doesn't exist currently. So make an offer and see what happens.
