Here are the things on my mind, personally:

1) FVV isn’t old, but Brunson is much closer to Lukas’s age.

2) Brunson is much cheaper, and will likely remain much cheaper on his next contract. In a vacuum, I guess that’s not a huge deal, but..

3) FVV’s contract virtually guarantees him a starting role, while I’m personally hoping Brunson can become a first guard off the bench (still playing heavy minutes) type. Now, if the GOAL is to add another starting guard who can handle and score, and the Kemba stuff gives us reason to suspect they like that idea, then sure, FVV bumps the plan forward significantly. But, whose spot does he take? Does he replace Richardson? Hmmm...maybe. Does he replace Kleber or DFS, effectively making Luka a SF? Defensively, I’m not sure I like that plan so much, though I definitely like having the OPTION of playing that way. 

Like I said, this idea is so out of left field I’m just slow to wrap my mind around it. The offense would certainly be better, and this would take care of any secondary playmaking issues the team has suffered, for sure.

I feel like there is a lot of underselling of FVV right now.  Brunson will never become FVV.  He is not a good defender and very likely never will be.  FVV is an elite perimeter defender and has been since day 1.  He is not tall but due to his strength and instincts he can guard 2s and some 3s in addition to 1s.  His offensive strengths are well known.  He would be our third star and a perfect fit with Luka and KP.  There would be no doubt he starts.  FVV and JRich would probably be the best perimeter defensive combo in the league.  You could totally play them with KP/Maxi/Luka.  That would be contender lineup in my mind.  If all it takes is Brunson and a first (plus salary filler) I would pull that trigger immediately.
