I’m being facetious but you’d think a player with that backing playing this well would have more votes

Did the Mavs throw away a shot a championship by not resigning Brunson?

Feel like there’s a lot of revisionist history around Jalen Brunson. No way was everyone saying the Mavs should re-sign him. Still heard “Luka needs help!!” every other game

They still needed more than Jalen Brunson. But losing him definitely set the franchise back

Yeah they needed Brunson and more.They couldn’t just afford to lose him for nothing.

That’s because people don’t understand basketball and because he wasn’t a lottery pick people hand waived how good he was.

We get out the West this year with him, Wood and a back up traditional big better than Javale.
Wouldn’t like our chances after that but who knows

If you have Luka Doncic + another human who can dribble and score.
you have at least a puncher's chance in every series imo.
it might have been slim, but not impossible to imagine a world where they made a finals run.
Getting rid of Brunson for nothing feels like one of the more indefensible moves in recent history.

I know it’s semantics but getting rid of him definitely seems like a gross misrepresentation.

We saw proof of concept in the playoffs last year.
You gained no asset by letting him walk or even cap space for 2 years and he’s probably better than anyone you might be able to get in 2024 either way.
**** trade him if push comes to shove.
I do think he opts out in 2025 so maybe he’s back then like every other target they bricked on

I mean they could have retained him, seems like a distinction without a difference.

A lot of people have a hard time evaluating something that appears unreal.
Like, a predraft knock on Luka was that he wouldn’t be able to get by athletic wings
Unless any of us are old enough to have seen Cap in high school, Vic is the greatest prospect we’ve ever seen.

he was a UFA, you know this. If you’re talking about the initial deal they gave him then you’re now talking about someone who doesn’t even work for the franchise anymore

My understanding is Mavs could have retained him if they were willing to pay.
