I'm so curious as to WHY you think this though. What have you seen that I've missed that makes you feel like that? I see Toppin as a potential Aaron Gordon type at best. And sure if he fulfills that potential it's what we're looking for. But I haven't seen it yet. Maybe there's a chance he does. But I think this team is running out of time for chances.

I actually think the Mavs know Brunsons plans right now. Based on the answers from Brunson himself in that BR interview I think he's ready to move on and be the lead guard for his own team. So I do hope they trade him and cash in on his value while it's at it's absolute peak and my ideal return would be 1 starter and 1 bench piece at the absolute minimum.
