Possible options in case Jalen Brunson opts to leave Dallas in free-agency

On Monday we discussed the opportunity cost of handing Jalen Brunson a blank check. Today, we cover some options in case either Brunson or the team decides to part ways.

Option 1: Clear the Deck

Should Brunson walk for whatever reason, it would present the Mavericks the opportunity to clear the deck and press the reset button.

Mavericks Trade - Tim Hardaway Jr./Davis Bertans/Josh Green

Why would the Lakers do it? They get two to three rotation players. Hardaway Jr. and Bertans ability to space the floor around Lebron and Anthony Davis would be a breath of fresh air for the Lakers.
