Since the trade the Mavs have played 4 games, all on the road, and have been the underdog 3 out of 4, going 3-1 during that stretch.
+5.5 @ MIA (W 107-99)
-2.5 @ NOP (W 125-118)
+6 @ UTA (L 109-114)
+4 @ GSW (W 107-101)
Small sample alert... Looking through the numbers I was curious to see how the trade has affected Brunson. There seems to be a downward trend of minutes played and shot attempts taken, which is a reflection of scoring decreasing also. It's hard to make any definitive statement, but the eye test and the "trend" gives some credit to those wanting to keep Dinwiddie over Brunson this off-season. I want both but I think the way Brunson performs in the playoffs this year may ultimately determine his fate with the Mavs.
