For sure. It's why they didn't sign him last season after the deadline.
If he wants a top 8 rotation, 20-minute regular type of role, and there are teams offering that, I simply don't think he'll end up signing here. At this time, I just don't think that type of role is available to him here, just like last year after the Dinwiddie trade.
Now, if Brunson gets away, or if, as Kamm suggests, Dinwiddie gets moved, the conversation changes significantly.
If he's willing to come and replace Burke (probably playing a liiiiittle more because he's a better player than Burke) for the minimum or slightly over it, then I can definitely see the Mavs jumping on that, and it would be a home run of a signing, imo.
