The main issue here is that he left for nothing. Not that we didn't keep him. He needed to be moved, we just should have been able to get good assets back. Look it his time of possession and usage. 1st in TOP ahead of Luka, and 4th in usage.
Unlike Kyrie, Brunson can't output close to what he's doing in NY without Luka levels of ball dominance. He'd still be putting up the numbers he put up his last year in Dallas if he was still here, which is still good, but a lot of what he does great in NY would be lost on this team. Never fit next to Luka well long term. I don't wish he was still on the team, more that we didn't get any assets back.
