Is this a championship team? No. If MBT have knowledge that they can't or are unwilling to retain JB, it would be monumentally dumb to not extract value from him.
I mentioned, back in the game thread, that the Mavs have been on this tear without KP (surprise!) and with THJ not contributing that much other than minutes. Just try to get *anything* back for them - a rotation player for each, plus an expiring for each, for example - and you have a better team, *plus* the ability to re-sign JB and GK.
I'm completely out on any trading of Brunson unless it brings back a proven all-star (not likely to happen unless he's packaged with KP), or if his agent has told the Mavs that he wants his own team and isn't coming back at any price. Being "unwilling" to retain Brunson is binarily unacceptable to me as a Mavs fan.
