I view him as the second most valuable player for the Mavs right now. But, I also read about how he will be an UFA and will probably demand 20M/year contract. The reality is, the Mavs will probably would have to make a decision about his situation very soon. One choice is to get something in return for him instead of risking losing him for nothing. So, I am gauging what you think wpuld be the most realistic trade for him.
Of course, if we can trade him for Jaylen Brown or Anthony Davis, we would surely love that. But, that will no be realistic.
Ok, I'm with you on ALL of the above. We've talked it through a lot around here, and I think the majority of us see the situation the way you do.
Only...there's no universe in which IQ (who I like as a prospect) is the return for Brunson. Brunson is worth a much more established player in my view. He might be a future all star, tbh, so I think if they deal him they'll be able to set their sights much higher.
Yeah, not Jaylen Brown high, for sure, but I'd say the bar is MUCH higher than IQ. IQ and pick(s) maybe.
