The Mavericks still have time to negotiate a contract extension. I think Brunson could demand 8 to 14 million in the open market. The lower end of that should require him being a long term core piece and I am even okay with that on the higher end.
I see Brunson as a long term core piece. I would be okay with paying him like a starter in that range. You also have the salary cap increasing so it would be a strong "NO" for me in giving up Brunson. The Mavs better be getting a starter in return if that happens. I mean a legit starting piece.
Lots of teams in the league have a hole for backup point guard and if the Mavericks let him walk they will be regretting it immediately.
This. When it comes to the extension talks the best comparisation is Monte Morris. He signed a 3/27 deal. If the Mavs can sign Brunson for similar money I don´t see a reason why they shouldn´t do it.
