I don't love his personality, but he'd be fine for a year. That gives you a secondary ball-handler, playmaking, perimeter defense and an okay'ish outside shooter. If it is a one year deal, he's probably on his best behavior and if he becomes a problem, send him home. It's a Cuban, zig-zag move.
Yeah, they might have to hold their noses and sign someone like that, at least temporarily.
I actually would be okay with Brunson being Luka's primary backup for the regular season, although I think they still need a third point guard who can actually play meaningful minutes in case someone is hurt. However, I fear that Brunson's size/lack of speed puts a fairly modest ceiling on how much he can contribute in the playoffs.
