Jalen Brunson = elite finisher and PnR player, currently playing 23.7 minutes per game, not starting.
Which is exactly why he has trade value... He is an asset Mavs can afford to lose as he is underused in Mavs system. And lets not forget there are two sides of the court.
I think Mavs have the luxury to trade one of THJ/JRich/Brunson to improve the big wing or secondary facilitator position where they are still the weakest. Despite his good plays I am still not convinced Brunson is best option next to Luka in the long term. He would have to improve defensively.
