I personally think getting to the WCF finals was worth it for Luka's development. Him getting a taste of that level in the NBA is priceless. I think it will push him to get even better. I don't know what Brunson's value was at the trade deadline, but if it wasn't great and it doesn't sound like it was making the WCF finals was probably better than taking back a 2nd round pick or a player of lesser quality. It absolutely sucks we lost Brunson for nothing, but let's not devalue the experience for Luka. This could be what turns him into MJ/LeBron/Kobe as far as out working everyone else to get better.
