Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL)

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Collin Sexton

Firstly, it’s worth noting that reports have indicated the Dallas Mavericks are “not attracted” to the assets the Mavericks have offered in a sign-and-trade for Sexton. We’re mostly noting that so that you, as the reader, know what we keep up with the news.

Having said that, we don’t know what the Mavericks have offered. If they’ve been apprehensive about surrendering a first-round pick, that’s understandable.

It’s also time for them to pony up.

Sexton’s dynamic scoring ability feels like an ideal match for Luka Doncic’s elite floor vision. Assuming Sexton returns from injury at peak form, this deal gives the Mavericks one of the most interesting offensive one-two punches in the league.

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers know they don’t need Sexton. In fact, backcourt mate Darius Garland just had a career year without him. It’s possible the team operates best with the ball in his hands. In that event, landing a first-round pick for a player that’s no longer useful to them is good business.
