I have been thinking about Brunson lately. I have always been a Brunson fan, but it is clear the Mavs were trying to be aggressive this offseason and was probably involved in the Mavs target of Haliburtan. Funny thing, if the draft was happening now, the mavs probably have a much better shot at Haliburtan with Brunson's play.
Brunson's minutes have gone down a little since the all star break. Burke has taken some minutes in the second quarter and maybe a little in the second half. Burke has played a little better recently, but I thought Brunson won those minutes. Brunson has been a little up and down (not bad, but not as good as he has been playing for most of the year) recently. It is tough to say if this is because of just the ups and downs of a season or because of the fewer minutes. I wonder if some of the Burke minutes have been a test balloon. As well as Brunson played prior to the all star Break, I thought he was pretty set for 25-30 minutes per game.
The problem is would Orlando have an interest in Brunson? Maybe now, but they have Fultz and their first round pick are both point guards. Atlanta wouldn't seem to move Collins to get a backup to their best player.
I doubt Brunson is moved, but I bet the Mavs have definitely asked to see what Brunson would bring back.
