Zach LaVine

Of all the targets on this list, Zach LaVine is probably the ultimate dream for the Dallas Mavericks.

After all, Luka Doncic has been the sun, moon, and stars of this Mavericks offense since they drafted him. Affording one player so much playmaking responsibility can be an effective strategy, but it also appears to have limitations.

Defenses won’t be able to key in on Doncic so aggressively with LaVine on the floor. The Mavericks would finally roster a real second star.

As constructed, a double team on Doncic usually results in an open shooter. If he had a target who could reliably attack close-outs, it would make the Mavs all the more dangerous.

Furthermore, Zach LaVine would allow the Mavericks to let Doncic get some rest without cratering their offense. Head Coach Jason Kidd could stagger the two to an extent, keeping a lethal offensive threat on the floor for most of every game.

When they’re on the floor together, this Mavericks offense might be unstoppable.
