It's "good" for Dallas because that trade would be god awful if he left for nothing. The fit and the loss of depth are still aspects left uncertain.

MODERATORS
They may be uncertain, they are certainly leaning heavily toward “not good”
It is leaning that way, but I'm willing to give some benefit of the doubt to the small sample size.
This contract and trade could definitely go down as one that really hurts Luka and the Mavs if it does not improve into this season and beyond.
Yeah I know luka and porzingis didn't fit well together but I just have a hard time believing kyrie is going to be better. I think the team is still pretty far from being a legit championship contender.
100%. Mavs would've been the laughingstock of the league for letting another guy go for nothing with Brunson
Agred. I don't see how the fit between Luka and Kyrie and then there's the depth of this squad.
Honestly much better deal than I expected.
Is this a max deal? I suppose anything less than that is probably good for the mavs even though it seems like there wasn't much competition in keeping in.
Not a max, could've been 4 years. Plus with third year being a player option, gives some flexibility.
Thanks! I just hope they can get a decent team around Luka. He is a ton of fun to watch but needs a good big.
Kyrie really wanted more, but that's not bad for both parties. I hope Ky can just play ball and help Luka, but I doubt it.
