I don't think they've played badly together, as the +/- seems to suggest, and I don't think they've had enough time together yet, especially in this new offense, for us to make a decision yet, honestly.
...but I'm not sure my eye test evaluation of the pairing has reached the same conclusion as yours. They might fit great, given time to adjust, but I see a ton of shots created by one for the other that simply aren't being taken. I think there's a catch-and-shoot element missing from those lineups, so far. The good news is that both Luka and Brunson CAN shoot off the catch. It's just that neither is accustomed to doing so...yet, I hope.
This is an extremely interesting crossroads for the Mavs, imho. What they do next will be make or break, possibly.
