I disagree, but we'll never know for sure, because this won't happen. Can't prove a negative, I suppose.
But here's one: I think the entire premise of shopping THJ this summer is based on the assumption (by the Mavs and by us) that Brunson was returning. If he doesn't, I believe THJ will not even be traded. Sure, anyone is available in the right deal, but at that point I think he's likely to be the starter next to Luka (VERY likely) and I doubt they'll find a deal they feel offsets that need.
