Sacramento Kings Receive: F Dorrian Finney-Smith, G/F Josh Green
Dallas Mavericks Receive: F Harrison Barnes
It may seem paradoxical, but sometimes, a team can benefit from a slight downgrade in talent.
After all, fit counts for a lot in the National Basketball Association. For example, a team with two superstars may prefer to roster a lower usage 3-and-D wing over a more dynamic, non-star offensive player.
On the other hand, a team that’s largely built around a single superstar could probably use to bolster their shot creation. If it isn’t obvious, we’re talking about the Dallas Mavericks.
This deal is centered around those principles. Inevitably, fans of both of these teams will protest.
