DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[KillerLeft]

The thing with Brunson is he's worth much more to the Mavs. Good player with high floor and decent ceiling (borderline starter?). His minutes and place in the rotation were all over the place for whatever reason. I think this year he gets a more defined role in the rotation. If the Mavs were to trade him they would get very little in return so why do it?

The reason was Delon Wright. Carlisle kept giving him so many chances to play point. It's one of the few things he has done that I disagree with. 

I like Brunson, too, but at the end of the day he's a backup PG on a team where the starting PG is your best player. That would be fine, except he doesn't appear to do very well WITH Luka as an off-ball guy. So, his role here will always have a low minute ceiling. 

You definitely don't trade him unless you have to because even backup PG's are super important, but I'd think he's pretty far from untouchable.
