I don't think it's a bad idea to let the season play out before signing Brunson to anything. He's a good player but I'm not sure there's a team who will give him $25 million to start. Doesn't matter if he wants to start. San Antonio and OKC come up but I'd rather have Dejonte or SGA. Detroit has a 20 year old no 7 pick to develop in Killian Hayes. Maybe New Orleans or Orlando but I don't see either of those teams shelling out big-time starter money for Brunson.
Brunson may just be what he is: a good to great backup point guard who happens to be the Mavs second or third best player.
To be clear, I still think he should start here. If he defends he'll look at lot like the next Fred Van Vleet ... but that may be asking too much.
