It just depends on the overall mix of the roster.
They haven't started him yet (when everyone is healthy) so maybe that should tell us something. Then again, maybe not.
I think "if he wants to start" is a sort of code for "if he wants to be the starting PG." Are you really sure that starting him is ok if it takes the ball away from Luka? I mean, it might be, but even if it works, are we sure Luka would be ok with it?
There ARE scenarios that could play out wherein we'll wish the Mavs had capitalized on Brunson's value when they had the chance. Nobody that I've read on this board (except maybe @"cow") wants Brunson to be gone or doesn't think he'll be worth his next deal (that might be an oversimplification of Cow's thinking, sorry). If they can make it work, great! I just feel in my bones that we're on a dead-end path to feeling gipped this summer. I'm scared to death.
