The Knicks' point guard situation is dire and the obvious hole in their team, there's really no way for the Mavs to compete with what they could offer him, which is a starting PG job and $20 million+ in salary.
Obviously a lot still depends on how the playoffs play out. If the Mavs decide to move on from KP, and we could find a way to trade him for a high-quality two-way playmaker, then the obvious other move would be to trade Brunson to NY for Robinson+our pick back.
Lonzo Ball, Dennis Schroeder, Chris Paul, Kyle Lowry, Mike Conley are all free agents this summer. Be surprising if the Knicks bypass all those guys so they can wait a year for Jalen Brunson.
