1. No one said we should just dump Brunson or let him walk
2. Team likely needs improvements to become a real contender. Brunson is an asset we can afford to "lose"

I think Brunson on court value for the Mavs is bigger than his trade value. That´s why I mentioned the Morris example. I think his contract is a win for both him and the Nuggets. A backup/fringe starting PG won´t get a big contract. Most teams go with vet mins or rookie deals. Staying with the prefered team and in a familar system while also getting MLE level money is a great option for the player. Same for the team. It´s unlikely that the Mavs can get a better backup PG for cheap so they might as well give Brunson a deal in the 3/30 range.
