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

[fifteenth]

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Brunson is back. I always viewed him as a necessary trade sweetener.

My issue with Brunson is that, while I get the sense that he and Luka are kind of tight off the court, they mesh quite poorly on-court. Brunson is quite good when he's the guy initiating the offense. His body language off-ball to Luka - not to mention his play - seems to be not that good based on the experience of watching Mavs games the past two years.

I don't think Brunson would play that "with Luka" role anymore. That role belongs to Richardson now.
