2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

I am ready to fight anyone that hints at trading Jalen Brunson who is the 2nd best player on the team.

He is good enough to take a chance with in the offseason. 

He showed why he is more valuable than KP last night and should be the number 1 option when KP is on the court.

Fight me then.  JB has a knack for scoring.  He is super crafty and I find myself thinking of him as a discount version of CP3.  But we also saw some of the bad from JB last night:  questionable shot selection, terrible lob passes to Chriss, terrible cross court passes when facing a double team especially when the easy pass would have led to a wide open three, trying to do too much on the offensive end.  

I'd love to have JB back but I have not idea what to pay him.  If he gets a contract nearing THJ, I think we'll regret that down the line.  It's kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.  He'll be impossible to replace but keeping him long term with THJ/KP is a problem for this team's ceiling.  

All that said, I do think the Mavs will retain him.
