I'm taking Brunson 10 times out of 10. Brunson is an all-around player. Brunson plays excellent D effort and is not a liability on defense, and we have a truly dominant defense with Luka and Brunson in the core of it. Problem with Trae is he is by far the worst defensive player, not only in todays NBA game, but historically, it's unlike anyone before. Trae's team is playing with a player less on defense essentially when he plays. If we had Trae instead of Brunson, we would have a terrible defense, and not have any chance at a title IMO. Brunson is the far better defender, and the far more consistent offensive player. Trae's low periods are really low, albeit his explosive high periods are more explosive than those of Brunsons. All in all, Brunson is a team player and give us a better chance to win, and I wouldn't change that.
