I also agree that the move should be to trade THJ fpr an expiring contract. And, try to resign JB and DFS.
I would love to sign Brunson to max extension, but I don't think that is necessary with DFS. He will most likely be looking at MLE offers in free agency. I think an extension in the 10-12 a year range would make sense.

But the thing is.. the West is pretty open right now, no team is heads and shoulders above the other, take away Brunson and the team can spiral out of contention, and this will be a wasted season if that happens.
You just can't expect Jalen by himself will get you a better playmaker, chances are you'd get you something, an upgrade from somewhere else but most likely a downgrade at the guard spot. With THJ not performing, the guard spot is shaky.
The obvious choice for trade is THJ.
If Detroit still likes him (and I doubt that), would love Olynyk + Hayes + Josh Jackson for THJ + Moses + a second round pick
Dragic + Boucher for THJ and Moses, if anything this is just a salary dump for the Mavs with short term help from Dragic
Love the Dragic trade, but I doubt Toronto has any interest in THJ.
