Why This Trade Makes Sense For The Mavericks
On the other side of the trade, the Mavericks would be getting a perfect back-court running mate for Luka Doncic. They need to find more scoring, which was an offseason focus. Unfortunately, Dallas was unable to bring any major difference makers in.
Danilo Gallinari and Victor Oladipo were both mentioned as potential targets for the Mavericks. However, they ended up not getting either one.
Hield would be able to come in and start immediately at the shooting guard position. He is much more capable of creating his own shot than Hardaway. That would be of interest to Rick Carlisle and company.
Mark Cuban is always open to making moves that take the Mavericks closer to a championship. Hield may not be a piece that powers the franchise to the NBA Finals, but he could certainly help.
Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis are without question a legitimate big two that could win a title. Surrounding them with more talent would be ideal. Hield would be a piece that would help take them to the next level.
