Luka and Brunson starting together are not a successful playoff duo imo due to defensive issues. Frank is better with Luka imo, so I'd be looking to trade Brunson in a package for another non-guard starter.

Brunson is the only player on the team that can help Luka with shot creation and playmaking. They can’t get rid of him without getting another one like him.

Sure they can. Brunson is a regular season player. We need to sell high on somebody, and he's the best we've got. Guards his size are on every roster practically. If we don't trade him, we'll lose him and get nothing in return. Mark my words.

We have no idea what Brunson’s ceiling is. He has improved dramatically every season. “Regular season player” is not a real thing and “guards his size” is not a useful comparison.

I agree that he may be the only thing they have to sell, but they didn’t get Luka any ball handling help this offseason, so they would need to address that if they lose Brunson.

I think we've seen this Brunson every year in the regular season as you mentioned

The key is getting him to produce in the playoffs when teams game plan or throw defenders with length on him.

The problem is that question can't be answered until the playoffs which means if he comes up short again than we are screwed LOL
