How Could The Mavericks Acquire Malcolm Brogdon From The Pacers?
Dallas would likely have to work out some kind of sign-and-trade deal with Tim Hardaway Jr. for this move to make sense. Dorian Finney-Smith could be another piece that Indiana has interest in. But, the Pacers need more perimeter shooting and Hardaway could make the most sense on a new deal to help make salaries fit.
In addition to a player like Hardaway, the Mavericks would likely have to include a pick in the deal. That would not be too steep of a price to pay for a talent like Brogdon. He could be the missing piece that powers the Mavs back into NBA Finals contention with Doncic leading the way.
Obviously, this is simply a hypothetical trade idea for the Mavericks. No one has reported that Dallas has interest in acquiring Brogdon from the Pacers. However, the fit makes sense and Cuban always love adding star power, which this trade would accomplish.
Could the Mavericks trade for Malcolm Brogdon? Absolutely, there are ways that they could figure out a trade package to entice the Pacers to pull the trigger. Will they? Likely not, but there is always a chance.
Expect to see the Mavs be very active this offseason. They need to acquire more talent around Luka Doncic and Brogdon is just one of the many options. On the other hand, the Pacers have some tough decisions to make about the future of their franchise as well, and Brogdon is one player who could very well be open for trade.
