Brunson also shot 34.8% in his first season and 35.8% in his second. While playing in Ricks system together with Luka. But Frank with his 32.1% in the trashy trash trash Knicks "offense" is a lost cause?
I really dont care about the stats of Knicks Frank. France/Worldcup Frank is much more interesting and he showed his potential there. The guy is pretty much "improving 4% from downtown" away from being a high valued 3&D guard. And thats a must need with Luka on our team.
You always take this gamble. And the Mavs never had a problem to find quality backup guards who knows how to run the offense. Like i said they have allready a Brunson replacement in the pipeline (Burke).
Luka, Seth on his bargain contract for one of the best shooter...the Mavs cant afford more below average guard/perimeter defender. But they could find a perfect backcourt fit for Luka.

I agree with the idea that much of what Brunson brings is pretty replaceable. Every offseason there are Mudiay’s, Burkes, Monte Morris, Meltons of the world who seemingly come out of nowhere and who are capable backup PG. if we can get Burke for half the MLE and use Brunson in a trade that’s not a bad use of assets.
