Doncic 30 / Brunson 18
Richardson 30 / THJ 18
Fournier 30 / THJ 12 / DFS 6
Maxi 24 / DFS 24
KP 30 / Bamba 18

I repeat, I like Fournier, I am not against the trade. But if you reduce Brunson to 18 minutes, start looking to trade him. There is no way he stays with Mavs at 18 minutes per game )if you reduce THJ minutes, than him is likely gone in the summer). I am ok with Brunson trade too, just saying that a trade for someone like Fournier would in the end require to move one from existing guard/SF rotation. Or they will go by themselves in FA in 2021 (THJ or and Richardson) - not really a scenario I would be pleased with as a fantasy Mavs GM. If you just get Fournier and (for example) THJ goes in FA, you didn't really improve the team. Trade like that would need to be followed by another sending one of our guard rotation for improvement on (probably) PF front.

Same as with the likes of LaVine. Just as example. He is great offensive weapon but no way Luka-LaVine-KP could anchor a contending team. So if you do the move for LaVine, it must be followed by KP trade for a good defensive oriented (almost) star center or PF.
