Something which was actually rumored before, but people chose to ignore it. I still hope Mavs are able to pull it off.
If it comes to it, SnT return is unfortunately very low at this point, as NY already has most of cap space. I doubt Mavs could even salvage their own pick back, since all NY has to do is not guarantee Gibson and trade Reddish (they might even get something in return for him). We might get to a point to compensate Knicks to do a SnT, like Boston did with Hayward, for example.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is we would have to clear a butt ton of cap space to even do a S & T because it would hard cap us and we are a fair bit over the apron. So we're probably not getting Burks and Noel back for Brunson.
I think there's a real chance he leaves. If anything can go wrong for Dallas in free agency it usually will. If that happens I think THJ becomes a keeper, the offense actually performed better the year before when he was frequently the second option and I think that's where we'd have to find the scoring punch
