BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[burekemde]

Is Jalen Brunson capable of being a #2 on a championship team? 

Nico Harrison, Mavericks President of Basketball Operations and General Manager:

Yeah, I think he is capable for sure. He's shown in the playoffs at the highest level what he can do. I think it's about doing it game in and game out, and he's pretty close to doing that.

Luka and Brunson are the two best young players to build around. Thats the core of a dynasty right there, nobody can match that. The decisions elswhere in the roster will dictate the outcomes. Happy for the Wood trade. We would have given GSW way more problems with him playing instead of what we gave for him which was zero contribution in playoffs.
