Does this trade make sense for the Dallas Mavericks?
The Dallas Mavericks traded away Harrison Barnes during the 2018-19 season, but bringing him back definitely has its advantages. This is Barnes’ 10th NBA season, but he is only 29-years-old and playing some of the best two-way basketball of his career.
He may not be an All-Star-level talent, but Harrison Barnes is a key secondary scorer and a reliable wing defender that you know what to expect from if you are Dallas.
Consistency has been the Mavericks biggest problem on offense this season, which is why a trade for Barnes like this one could make a ton of sense.
They would not have to give up too much other than Josh Green and the veteran forward is only under contract for one more season.

Between shooting over 40% from deep this season and being able to play either the small-forward or power-forward positions, Barnes brings the versatility that the Mavericks are missing to be a real playoff threat in the Western Conference right away.
Luka Doncic cannot do everything on his own and with the inconsistencies of Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis, the Mavs would be smart to add someone with playoff experience that can contribute like Harrison Barnes.
