If Brunson wants to leave there are options to get him to New York via S&T
Burks + Mitchell S&T $12.5 million --> Dallas
Brunson S&T $25 million --> New York
I'd hate to lose Brunson, but if he's gone, he's gone, and Burks could be a sneaky good acquisition. Another big, tough versatile guard/wing in the DFS and Bullock mold. He's a 40% three point shooter, but he can also handle. He won the starting PG position over Kemba Walker. He's a smart, hard-nosed defender, a veteran, and I can see him as Kidd type player. I could definitely see him starting next to Luka, or more likely coming off the bench in a do-everything role.
Mitchell is your classic rebounding, rim protector who will set screens and defend.
