I would argue that Brunson is the rarer player because he is a high level creator.  

Yes. Smart thinking.

Brunson definitely creates offense. He completely qualifies as the "second creator" (and one who's a really good fit) that we were clamoring to get, as the season began, but couldn't figure out where/how to get.

My perception of his value keeps growing, but I think a big part of that is because his game keeps growing. IMO Letting him go should only happen if the Mavs can exact a Major Return in exchange. But, as hard as it is to find this guy, maybe not even then. For example, I've toyed with the question of "What if you could tell NY you will swap JB to them, if they'd get and send you Collins" and as much as I like Collins, I hesitate. I think JB is that valuable here.
