OK, now that that’s out of the way, I value JB much more than I do MR. His pedigree as a second rounder gets in the way. If we called him Mystery PG X and showed his numbers (especially per 36), people would go nuts to add that type of guy. JB is also a dream from a character standpoint and I think Robinson has some issues that make him less than ideal. Setting all of that aside, I do fear NY is going to come hard after Brunson.
Robinson IS in the contract situation I erroneously tried to paint regarding Brunson. NY CAN make him restricted this offseason. If they don’t, he’ll be UFA in 22. So, if he’s RFA, it forces us to work under the cap for a S&T with NY as his raise will be substantial. If he continues to play under his rookie scale this season, then he’s UFA in 22 and we’ve got just as much risk of losing him for nothing. Plus, isn’t center the easier position to fill cheaply? Since you keep posting this idea to little response, I thought I’d give one. I’m not a fan for on-court, off-court and financial reasons.
Ya I didn't know the RFA situation. I think in one sense center is easy to replace if you goal is to be like WCS-level okay at the position, I just really like the MR fit. I feel like Mavs have a big risk of losing Brunson for nothing, I think it would be easier to keep MR bc he would be starting vs Brunson who can maybe be a starter and play for his dad in NYK. Something to think about.
