I think two things are happening here:
1) People are failing to value JB as highly as he should be (maybe because Mavs fans have been so used to assuming we have no assets others want).
2) How much leverage Nico has in this situation. Nico can literally just sign JB this summer (I don't think JB would do the Mavs wrong and just walk, especially if the contract is slightly better than others can offer) and then trade him later. OR Nico can trade JB to any number of teams.
It frustrates me how Mavs fans are ready to ship him off. He has Jason Terry type shot making and is a big part of our culture. I am not sure we can find a replacement for him unless its for someone like Lillard or an all star player but Lillard is 32 and is in the twilight point of his career.
I will continue to say that guys you move are KP or THJ. I may be willing to move Maxi depending on what I get but Brunson is a championship roster piece IMO. He is the second most consistent player on our team. I can even put him above Luka because he rarely misses games.
