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

[Scott41theMavs]

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.

They barely play together. Brunson + Luka had a positive net rating +2.6 in only 202 minutes!!!!

To put this into perspective, last minute man Trey Burke + Luka played 210 minutes together in the bubble, and they had a negative net rating of - 1.9

Okay... not bad. I hope Brunson stays at this rate.
