Why the Trade Benefits the Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks matched up with the Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs. They were the seventh seed and were taken out in six games. The Mavs have clearly improved over time and have done so through the NBA Draft and in trades. This is another trade that would take their team to the next level.

The ultimate goal is to climb up the standings and compete with the Los Angeles Lakers. To do so, the Mavericks need to add another superstar. This is where Paul George comes into play.

Luka Doncic is on the cusp of being the top player in the NBA while Porzingis has a skill-set that many seven-footers do not have. If healthy, this trio would have the Mavericks as legitimate threats in the conference.

Let’s not forget, Patrick Beverley would bring intensity on the defensive end and improve the depth. The Mavericks entered the offseason with hopes of adding another big-name player but nothing has happened yet. This is their chance.
