2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]
(11-25-2021, 08:38 AM)mavsluvr Wrote: Very interested in your thoughts on this. Considering that his salary is so tiny (by NBA standards) and that the acquiring team would only be getting a rental, I had pretty much bought into the idea put forward by some of the pundits that the Mavs don't think he will fetch much of anything, so they might as well keep him for the rest of the season. 


Of course, there could be a multi-player trade, where the Mavs would, in addition to giving up Brunson, presumably offload salary in exchange for a higher-salaried player that they think approaches Brunson's on-court (as opposed to contract) value. Maybe that's what you have in mind. That scenario has more moving parts, and is more complicated, but certainly there is precedent for such things. However, since the possibility still exists that the acquiring team will only have the benefit of his services for a few months, I wonder how many teams will want to part with their own valued player and maybe take on a guy(s) they didn't really want, on that basis.

Totally not saying you are wrong. I agree that Brunson has on-court value that substantially exceeds his contract. I had more or less accepted the idea that, due to the NBA rules on trades, it would be tough to turn him into anything of material value. Am I confused about the rules? Or are you saying that there might be complications, but it's not impossible, and it might be worth a try?

I don't get the rental assertion. What was asserted in the Brunson thread was that the Mavs would have full Bird rights on him this summer and be able to offer him the farm if they wanted. That's the case with trading him as well - whoever trades for him has the best shot of him suiting up for them next year as well. He ought to fetch a fair amount in trade if the Mavs go that route. Obviously, to get back a rotation player who isn't on a rookie (or rookie-sized) deal, you'd have to throw other players in with him.
