Damien and McCollum have started for the Blazers for many years and they have been to the playoffs I think like 7 years in a row. Their supporting cast has also not always been very good. I would take a Luka, Brunson, KP core team over Dame/CJ/Nurkic honestly (Nurkic himself seems to be injured a lot). For sure Mavs will need to decide whether or not Brunson is best suited off the bench in starting but I am bullish on his future here.TBF the Blazers have the worst defense in the league and their undersized backcourt has clearly limited their ceiling over the years. Now, that's not to say you can't start a guy as small as Brunson and be a contender, teams have obviously done it before, but the Mavs will have to decide if that's the way they're going, and soon.
