The Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves could help each other out in a deal at the NBA trade deadline. They are two teams with different aspirations for this season which makes them good trade partners. Let’s take a look at a potential deal could look like between the two sides.
The wheels have fallen off in Minnesota. They are one of the bottom teams in the Western Conference once again. Karl-Anthony Towns has missed time this season and will continue to be out with a wrist injury.
In his absence, D’Angelo Russell has picked up a lot of the slack along with rookie Anthony Edwards. Malik Beasley is also off to a hot start shooting well from three-point range. They are a team with a lot of work to do whether it is in the trade market or free agency.
The Dallas Mavericks are on the opposite end. They are a team looking to compete this season after getting over the hump and into the playoffs last year. Luka Doncic is quickly becoming one of the best players in the league.
Doncic is an early-season MVP candidate and has the Mavericks as the leader. Kristaps Porzingis create a dynamic duo when he is healthy and on the floor. Dallas could be looking to add another big name player at the deadline.
If Dallas is interested, the Timberwolves are a team that they should look to for a deal. Here is what a potential deal might look like.
