He's a solid shooter and playmaker. His defense leaves a lot but Brunson wasn't a stalwart anyways.
My only trade that sort of makes sense revolves around sending Powell and either Frank/Green to UTA, Timmy to the Nets and the Mavs get back Joe Harris and Conley. Trade is off by 300k but I think that's a rounding error.
I would think Conley is super-available. Without a pick. Just send UT some expiring junk, and take him.
But the 2-year contract for Conley may be a deal-killer. He seems to be on his last legs. May not even be useful for the first year, it's hard to say.
And I don't see a trade match. Mavs don't have enough expiring contracts for UT. (I can't see BKN having any interest in that 3-way.)
