Huge mystery, and I hope the Mavs guess the right ending. If he's a dead end, NOW is the time to move him, while his value is high.
I think Jalen is still useful as a regular season guy, and I think the Mavs are inclined to give him a chance to further prove himself, although I also think they wouldn't hesitate to move on for the right price -- maybe in a trade for that big playmaker they are wanting.
Having said that, I think the biggest mistake of the series Carlisle made was to go away from Brunson and ride Burke instead during game 7. It wouldn't have bothered me if he tried it in any of the other games (Brunson had a few stinkers) but I just feel like in a game 7 you dance with the one who brung ya.
I don't know how much difference it would have made, but you may be right.
