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.
Exactly. Brunson is arguably Mavs biggest asset yet at the same time the one they can most easily sacrifice.
