Given that Jalen Brunson just salvaged the Mavs’ playoff hopes with a Luka-like 41 points and didn’t turn it over once in a pivotal Game 2, it’s worth...
in a pivotal Game 2, it’s worth remembering how little his employers thought of this year’s savior in last year’s playoffs.I mean, Bobi makes me laugh, but, c’mon.
Managing the cap becomes paramount in the Mavs’ eternal quest to find a star to pair with Luka Doncic.. In exchange for one terrible contract, they got two unpleasant ones, though Dinwiddie has earned his money so far. But it won’t help this summer, when Mark Cuban will be, as he has put it, in “luxury tax hell.” They won’t have enough space to sign a star. They’ll do well to take care of their own, if they can.
Brunson has talked repeatedly about his ongoing dialogue with Kidd and what it has meant to his development. A natural born leader and winner at every level he’s played, he improved his scoring average four points a game this season and made life easier on Luka in the process. “It’s likely that’s too rich for another team,” the Spotrac story concluded in February. “Again, Brunson is a really solid player, but he hasn’t shown he’s a maximum player. Nor has Brunson shown he can be the number one option on a playoff team, which a max player should be.”No question, it’s a small sample size, but, while Luka sits, Brunson has averaged 32.5 points in two playoff games. That’s nearly twice his season average.
