Dallas Mavericks Receive: G/F Kelly Oubre Jr.
Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Dwight Powell
Landing a franchise player may be the first objective for any NBA team. With that said, the close second goal is to keep that franchise player satisfied.
That holds especially true in 2022. After all, this is the age of player empowerment, and nobody is more empowered than a star. Players routinely pressure their teams to improve these days. If they don’t, it’s not uncommon for that star player to seek a trade.
The Mavericks may be out of the woods in that regard. They just advanced to the Western Conference Finals – Doncic has had a taste of success in their uniform. With that said, there is ample room for improvement with this group.
On the other hand, the Hornets are racing the clock when it comes to Ball’s happiness. Recent rumors have suggested that he’s concerned about the team’s direction.
