It’s just a matter of time before someone pays him to play as a starter, anyway. You could argue that this would cause problems on the defensive end, but it is becoming more and more clear that it would come with the benefit of improved playmaking in the top group.I wonder if the Mavs are going to have this choice.
Brunson is already getting starter minutes. It has been reported by multiple sources that he is looking for a bigger role, in addition to more money. When Devin Harris was talking about him the other night, it was somewhat in the nature of why fans should not be mad at him because it's only natural for a talented point guard to want to run his own team.
Would you foresee a situation where the Mavs take Luka off the ball and hand the reins to Brunson? If not, I wonder whether he looks for a situation where he can run his own show. Not saying he definitely will, but I think there is a possibility that he sees himself moving on to greener pastures.
