Brunson is about to be an UFA. Mavs have no leverage. It's obvious he's being pigeon-holed into a role that is smaller than a player like him deserves. If Luka wasn't a generational superstar point guard, Brunson would probably be a starter right now with Luka playing more off-ball.
But because of that, it means there will be a team next summer that will throw the bag at Brunson and the Mavs have no avenues to stop him from leaving. Odds are he'll be traded if he doesn't sign an extension solely because that's the correct asset management thing to do.
