Brown's contract was the only one that gave them an out with his non-guarantee. At the end of the day you're asking to choose between Brown vs. Chriss and honestly there isn't much of a difference if anything leaning slightly toward Chriss in terms of talent.
Also, the 3 games he played well they went 1-2 with the lone win coming against the Knicks who sat everyone. What does that say about Brown's development? Remember he put up big stats on a tanking OKC team last year. And his stats didn't appear to have much of an impact on winning. Does this recent stretch tell us that Brown has suddenly become a valuable role player? I don't think so.
Mitchell Robinson bullied Powell and Kleber. Wasn´t doing any of that against Brown. The recent stretch tells us that Brown has potential. More potential than some guys on the current Mavs roster. I am not blaming the Mavs. He doesn´t fit into the current scheme. Just pointing out that they haven´t developed a young big in a long time. Last one was Powell who just like Brown landed in Dallas as a trade throw in.
Compared to others teams they have different priorities and less patience when it comes to raw bigmen. Prefer to use roster spots on vets or guard/wing prospects. Not saying that this is good/bad but looking through the draft thread many (myself included) are discussing players wit similar profiles. Personally I would like to add another young big. Just don´t think that the Mavs are interested.
