But the postseason accentuates all these things: Doncic’s usage rate has gone from 35 to 40, and so have his minutes. The ball has been in Doncic’s hands for more than half of the entire time Dallas has been on offense this series, including minutes with him off the court. (He’s held the ball for slightly more than 23 total minutes, his teammates less than 20.) In this series, Jalen Brunson’s average time per touch and average dribbles per touch have both fallen substantially from the regular season. I’m not sure Brunson’s struggles through this series’ first two games can be explained solely by him not touching the ball as often, but it can’t help. It also hasn’t helped Doncic sustain his energy levels into the fourth quarter. – via Tim Cato @ The Athletic

was listening to 105.3 the fan and they made a great point
Brunson has to have the ball in his hands in order to get the best out of him. The problem is that can't happen with Luka so they implied that Brunson maybe better off elsewhere.

But you still have to keep him unless we can get a great return on sign and trade. I know you get that, but too many people just don't.
Keep him then maybe move him at the deadline if you have to. Personally I think it can work, but you CAN'T let an asset like that walk for nothing.

Game 5 decides the series. Mavs have all the momentum.

That's the long and short of it right there. You can always move a bad contract if you need to, but losing your 2nd best player- which he definitely is- for nothing? That's suicide.
Also, everyone here, THE MAVS JUST TIED THE SERIES! BE HAPPY FFS!!!
Seriously, making this a 6 game series is a resounding, unqualified success. And now we have a chance to make it seven or MAAAAAYYYYYYBE even pull off the upset. I'm absolutely thrilled with this season no matter what happens. This is a great time to be a Mavs fan. Wake up and smell the coffee, y'all.

Giving this team a deep play off run could work wonders for the off season and next season.

Yeah, keeping Brunson is now just a matter of singing on the dotted line. There is no way Cuban lets him walk.

Err wouldn't say no way he let Tyson walk after a championship. I know he was chasing big fish but I haven't seen him be willing to pay taxes since they changed the rules. We'll see.

I voted one game in dallas, 5 game series. Playoffs are already a success. Im super thrilled and they won yesterday exceeding my expectations for this series. Even if it goes 6, its a success.
