yea mavs losing one of their three shot creators is not good. and i dont really see a way for them to get another one..

go to the knicks and get booed doesnt sound that good
what if he has a good relationship with his dad, the anti-riverses
― terence trent d'ilfer (m bison), Tuesday, 28 June 2022 22:54 (one year ago) link
then dallas shouldve hired his dad how did they let the knicks scoop them

How good is Brunson? I can't get a handle on what the general feeling is. Is he poised to breakout if he's more of an focal point or is he just a guy who's young and undamaged or hindered by a terrible contract in a time when there aren't many available?

brunsons dad would fit right in the mavs org. hes their type
― micah, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:00 (one year ago) link
UMS i think it’s the latter. he’s never going to make an all star team.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:02 (one year ago) link
I would feel a lot better about that Tucker contract if it were two years. I've got a feeling we're going to find out he's cooked a month into the second year.

yeah brunson will probably be a borderline all star guy. he's probably best suited as a 6th man, or as a 3rd option on a good team? hes real crafty and seems to be an elite pnr guard. but hes short and not great on defense. will be interesting to see what he does with a higher usage rate, no luka to play next to, and way less shooting around him.

thx dudes I was wondering that...a lot of this off-season has "well we gotta do something" vibes
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:08 (one year ago) link
yeah its just the knicks
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:09 (one year ago) link
he'll also be 26 soon so hard to see him making another leap. per 36 the last two years he's been about 18/5/5 the scoring will prob increase a bit but the shooting percentages will drop
― Spottie, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:11 (one year ago) link
they are desperate for a real pg at this point
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:11 (one year ago) link
he was a good fit on the mavs, and there was still room for a bigger role, this was a poor decision
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:12 (one year ago) link
tho i havent heard if the mavs were willing to give him nearly the same contract, understandable if they werent, but still now they cant replace him
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:13 (one year ago) link
yeah he was a great fit for the mavs
― Spottie, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:23 (one year ago) link
offseasons like this really fuck some teams up bc they need to make a splash and then they're just saddled with overpriced contracts for mediocre aging guys
― Clay, Tuesday, 28 June 2022 23:31 (one year ago) link
the mavs did screw the brunson thing up by not signing him to a deal in the $50 million range when they had the chance, but at least they're willing to walk away and not give him a crippling contract.
i think they will mostly be fine. brunson is a good player but he was also playing in a system that is designed entirely around the lead ball handler. you couldn't do much more to put a player like him in a position to succeed (and probably overperform) than to slide him into the spot normally reserved for luka and/or playing off luka. he still has to be good enough to take advantage of it, and he's def a nifty player who can score. but i bet we'll find out both when he gets on the knicks and when the mavs find a replacement for him that he was, in effect, a system player. the mavs will have to get creative to replace him but at the end of the day we're talking about a second round pick who was a back up point guard, good franchises shouldn't get brought to their knees buy a guy like that walking away.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 June 2022 00:14 (one year ago) link
and i guess a sign and trade is a possibility. if the mavs did something like brunson for derrick rose, alec burks and a protected first i don't think they'd be much worse

The Knicks are trading center Nerlens Noel and guard Alec Burks to the Pistons, sources tell ESPN. The Knicks will unload $19M more in salary, clearing the way for cap space to try and sign free agent guard Jalen Brunson.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 29, 2022

Detroit is eager to utilize center Nerlens Noel and guards Alec Burks next season. GM Troy Weaver had Noel on his team in Oklahoma City, and Burks is an ideal veteran to mentor the Pistons talented young group of guards.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 29, 2022

it's boring but i'm fine with the pistons being patient. they will have rookies and second-year players they're trying to develop so winning now isn't really in the cards.

The prob for the mavs is that the other bad contracts they have on the books made it so Cuban can’t (won’t) spend more for a player that actually contributes. The brunson contract wouldn’t cripple them.
In return for Jalen Brunson, the Mavericks will receive lowered Luxury Tax payments and no more cap space.— MavsCBA (@CBAMavs) June 29, 2022

Didn’t think about this til I read this tweet but Brunson RJ and Randle are all lefties
To me Jalen Brunson would have had more reps, as well as much better coaching and spacing, if he stayed in Dallas. With Randle and Barrett as 2 high usage lefties wanting to attack from the right side of the floor, plus below average spacing, he'd max his potential more in DAL— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) June 29, 2022

thats not bad, anytime you can get a rotation vet for less than MLE its good
also taurean went to hs where my brother used to be a teacher, tho i think my brother didnt start teaching there til a couple years after he graduated
― terence trent d'ilfer (m bison), Wednesday, 29 June 2022 04:40 (one year ago) link
the hardaway jr contract is prob regrettable. i just think that when your entire team is shooters and rim runners/stretch bigs you should be able to find another guard who can score and play back up point for you for less than $29 million a year. dinwiddie went from shooting 37/31 on the wizards to 50/40 on the mavs. their system is very friendly to ball handlers. i think they do need to replace brunson because having two scoring guards to go w/ luka was a big thing in their post-deadline surge but even if it's not until the next deadline i think they'll be able to figure something out. i just find it hard to believe that we're gonna be sitting here this time next year like, well the mavs let jalen brunson walk and it all went to shit
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 June 2022 05:06 (one year ago) link
also like, nobody thinks this is a good contract right? is anyone wishing their team was the ones getting the $30 million jalen brunson contract? i feel like teams more often screw up by saying "well we can't lose him for nothing!" (tim hardaway jr) than just letting the guy walk and figuring it out from there
