Why would Dallas lose Brunson?   They are well under the cap and own his Bird rights

Can they re-sign him and also find a second star to play alongside Doncic?

Edit. Seems he wants $20 million per year.

And Luka is due a big pay increase. Just seems they have one superstar and a bunch of good players which usually does not cut it in the NBA.

Also looks to me they are already at the luxury likely level next season even before paying Brunson.  I’m sure Cuban would go over either some but looks like they need to dump soem salary. Hardaway Jr?
