Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal

It’s always easier to justify the deal for the team receiving the best player involved.

The Dallas Mavericks could use the talent. Yes, this team advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2021-22. That was an impressive run. Unfortunately, they’ve since lost Jalen Brunson via free agency. For a team that was already light on ball-handlers, that’s an issue.

Sure, Spencer Dinwiddie is still on the roster. He’s probably more suited to be a third playmaker than a second banana. It should go without saying that Donovan Mitchell would make for a massive upgrade.

In fact, he’d make for the one the Mavs shouldn’t be able to resist. After all, they’ve already got the most important ingredient in a championship team in Luka Doncic: a top-5 player.
