I don't subscribe to the ridiculous notion that one playoff series (his first) is an accurate predictor of how well Brunson will perform against good, long teams for the duration of his career. In fact, I've seen him overcome similar circumstances this season more than once. Every player has weaknesses, but Brunson has been one of the best stories in the league these past couple of seasons. Giving him up without a fight, or at least without a good return, would be super silly.
Other than Toppin (maybe) and draft picks, there isn't a single player on the Knicks I'd want enough to trade Brunson there, tbh. Now, if he's bolting anyway, that's a different story, but again, you'd know better than I. Ask Bob for us. He might know.
As you’ll recall, Mr. Voulgaris was not retained as part of Mark Cuban’s brain trust (I was also LYING).
Did you watch the recent game against Phoenix? Brunson really struggled against their lengthy defenders. I think the Batum-lockdown in the playoffs was more the pattern than an anomaly. How about we watch tonight when Thybulle spends time on Brunson and come back here for healthy discussion? Deal? Deal.
