This could be a draft-night deal. As much as I like Brunson I am worried ab the Knicks overpaying him in 2022 bc that's the sort of thing they do.
You might even be able to get one of Dallas picks back from NYK if they really want Brunson bad enough.
Robinson would be an upgrade over WCS but also be a potential long-term piece. Alternatively Mavs can hold onto Brunson until the TDL and then decide whether or not they will be able to keep him next summer.
Considering that our greatest need is a second playmaker, you'd better have a plan to replace Brunson immediately if you're going to trade him away. Luka isn't playing 48 mpg with no one else who can create or playmake.
