Part of that return (and it has to be more than this) unlocks a trove of assets we don't have access to now. Trading Brunson is a means to a larger end. If you can use those assets to get a final piece type guy (and some return from NY), I think it has to be considered.
Like your previous post said, it's hard to sign up on trading Brunson as a precursor to a bigger move until you actually know what that move is.
The only sure fire "Yes I will unlock the trove of assets+ Brunson" trades I'd like are:
Jaylen Brown
KAT
Ingram
Zion (I don't think its likely but there's enough smoke here to think a trade is possible)
SGA
There are others but they are even less realistic than these. I'm probably setting my sights too high here since the best package the Mavs can do include Maxi+DFS+picks. Add in the prerequisite Brunson trade and all of a sudden we're giving up every single one of our positive impact players for a star.
