He was nothing more than trade asset for Dallas and they made no effort to show him otherwise. At least he ended up where he wanted, plus they actually wanted to pay him more. I doubt he thought he was given a team to lead. He is not paid like a lead guy and NY is always looking for a big trade. Very likely he will end up with a star player one day, who will have the most responsibility to make things happen.
New York flips their acquisitions almost immediately. They have zero loyalty. It is just as likely that Brunson is flipped for that lead guy.
Where as the Mavericks are loyal to a fault. They keep players long past their shelf date. It is only the Dallas fans who think of players as only trade assets
