Cuban: Mavs 'didn't get a chance' to offer contract to Brunson
库班: Brunson 并没有给小犊机会报价
Despite reportedly taking meetings with multiple teams leading up to his free
agency, newly-signed New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson was set on playing
in the Big Apple.
尽管据报导 Jalen Brunson 与多只球队进行会面，但 Brunson 最终还是选择尼克队。
Although happy for Brunson, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said the
25-year-old never gave his former club a shot at retaining him.
"We really didn't get a chance to make an offer. It was Jalen's choice,"
Cuban told reporters, including New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy.
"We wanted him to stay, but he had his reason, and I respect that."
虽然替 Brunson 开心，但小犊队老板库班表示 25 岁的 Brunson 从来没有给他的前
东家任何留住他的机会。
"这是 Jalen 的选择，我们真的没有获得给他报价的机会"
"我们想要他留下，但他有自己的选择，所以我尊重他"
The New Jersey native joined the Knicks on the first day of free agency,
signing a four-year, $104-million deal to return to the area where he grew up.
在纽泽西土生土长的 Brunson 选择了回到他长大的地方，在交易市场开市的第一天就跟
尼克队签下了一份 4 年 1 亿 400 万美金的合约。
New York recently hired Brunson's father, Rick, a nine-year NBA veteran, as
an assistant coach. Additionally, team president Leon Rose previously
represented both Brunsons as their agent.
尼克队最近雇用了在 NBA 打过 9 年的 Jelen 的父亲 Rick Brunson 为助理教练，
此外，尼克队总裁 Leon Rose 曾经是 Jelen Brunson 跟 Rick Brunson 的经纪人。
Cuban said "it's up to the (NBA)" to decide when reporters asked whether the
close connections to the Knicks could be considered tampering.
当记者问到 Brunson 与尼克队这样紧密的关系是否可视为用不正当的手段来影响时，
库班表示 "这必须由 NBA 来决定"。
The Mavericks selected Brunson with the third pick in the second round of the
2018 draft after a stellar college career at Villanova. He started 127 games
over four seasons in Dallas, improving his point total in his last two
seasons with the club.
小犊在 2018 选秀会上以第二轮第三顺位选到了在 Villanova 的大学生涯表现十分杰出
的 Brunson。他在达拉斯的过去四个球季先发了 127 场比赛，并在最近两季的得分获得
进步。
The 6-foot-1 guard broke out in this year's playoffs, posting at least 23
points in each of the six games in Dallas' first-round win against the Utah
Jazz. Brunson averaged 21.6 points over 18 playoff games in 2022.
这位 6 尺 1 吋的后卫在今年的季后赛大爆发，在第一轮达拉斯对抗犹他爵士时，六场
比赛每一场都得超过 23 分。Brunson 在今年的 18 场季后赛平均得分为 21.6 分。
