Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal

Again, this is a simple exchange. The Dallas Mavericks make this trade to improve their rotation.

By all accounts, Brogdon is an upgrade over Dinwiddie. That holds particularly true on the defensive end. If Dinwiddie grades out as slightly below average, Brogdon grades out as slightly above.

Furthermore, Brogdon is also a more reliable floor spacer. That will be particularly significant when Doncic is orchestrating the offense. On a related note, that’s something that happens quite often in Dallas.

Acquiring Brogdon won’t change that. He’ll be a secondary ball-handler with the emphasis on “secondary”. Still, he’ll be the most reliable running mate the Mavericks have had alongside Doncic during his time with the team so far.
