HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison told reporters on Friday that re-signing pending free agent Jalen Brunson “is the top priority.”
Mavericks GM Nico Harrison on Jalen Brunson's free agency: "It's the top priority. We've got to figure that out. Obviously, we're not in control of it, but he's definitely a priority. We want to re-sign him. He knows it. We want him back. He'll be a big part of our future." pic.twitter.com/IMPVrRZKT2

Brunson will be the team’s most notable free agent, and prioritizing retaining him makes sense given his 2021-22 breakout.
