Listened to this great podcast today. Last 50 minutes is just Bill and KOC talking about desperate teams and what they're looking for. Last 10 minutes or so they start to approach Brunson and his value when talking about how desperate the Knicks are.
Bill basically said, if you're the Mavs and you only want to pay Brunson for 4/60 or 4/70 and he walks you almost have to trade him now to get value. KOC then goes on and talks about how much Dallas likes Brunson but there are potential suitors in the offseason mainly the Knicks and even the Celtics or Clippers.
He goes on to say that he doesn't think a team like the Celtics have the (realistic) pieces to entertain a Brunson trade unless they take on a bad contract and/or overwhelm Dallas with picks, which is something that'd entice Dallas. Which is an interesting perspective!
KOC goes on and mentions Dallas has always had interest in John Collins. Bill then chimed in and threw around a potential 3-teamer with Smart to ATL, Collins to Dallas, and Brunson to Boston given that ATL was poking around a trade for Smart earlier in the season.
Definitely give it a listen for other team's perspectives. I think we might be undervaluing Brunson's standing in the league if KOC says something like that.
