Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Malcolm Brogdon

Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, F Josh Green, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 6 – IND), 2024 First-Round Pick (IND), 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2026 First-Round Pick (IND)

Indiana Pacers Receive: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

If the New York Knicks aren’t interested in Malcolm Brogdon, that’s justifiable. On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks could only afford to pass on him if a better deal was on the table.

After all, the Knicks are more than a good point guard away from contention. The Mavericks are not. All they really need is a secondary ball-handler behind Luka Doncic. They just came a series away from making the NBA Finals.

Opportunity is not typically a lengthy visitor. The Mavericks need to act. They can’t afford to hesitate to offer Green and a first-rounder for a player of Brogdon’s caliber.

Meanwhile, the Thunder have got nothing but time. In fact, they’ve got so much of it that if they trade SGA this summer, it shouldn’t be a shock to anyone.
