Jalen Brunson will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and retaining him may prove difficult for the Dallas Mavericks.

"The Brunson flight risk is real, sources say," writes Zach Lowe. "The Mavs have no cap space to replace them."

Brunson is averaging 15.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game this season for the Mavericks. The Mavericks turned around their season after moving Brunson into the starting five.

The Mavericks also have the unrestricted free agency of Dorian Finney-Smith to contend with.
