If yes - which two out of DFS, Kleber and THJ are benched? If Mavs don't see him as a starter, than he is way too good to be relegated to play 10-15 minutes per game when Luka sits
I agree with your point (always have). But, I don't think he has to be a starter to have a future here. If he can play with Luka he has a chance to be the 3rd guard, which is good enough to pay, imo. That's a valuable player.
I agree with your point regarding Luka, Richardson, THJ, Brunson and Burke. It's tough to envision a juicy role for ALL of them. But, as long as there's a chance Brunson can make it to #3 on that list or higher, I'm happy with the way things are. Maybe they trade THJ or Richardson. Maybe they let one of them walk. Who knows?
I'm not opposed to moving Brunson, either, but at least it's starting to look like he's not in the wrong place, wasting away (IMO).

Man, well reasoned and well stated.
And, none of us has a clue what he'll do, because he hasn't had access to the full group of forwards/bigs ever, not even last year.
