Phoenix Suns Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie
Dallas Mavericks Receive: F Jae Crowder, F/C Dario Saric
After last year’s Western Conference Semifinals, you may not think these two sides would be willing to do a deal.
The two had a grueling seven-game series to determine who would advance to the Finals. In the end, the Mavericks eliminated the Suns in an unceremonious fashion. They beat them so badly in Game 7 that it was almost difficult to fathom.
At the same time, neither side advanced to the NBA Finals. For two organizations in win-now mode, that means there’s still work to be done.
On the Suns’ end, Chris Paul is 37. He’s not getting any younger. Moreover, this group almost imploded this summer – a successful 2022-23 season would get them back on track.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks would be well served to continue contending in a bid to convince Luka Doncic to commit his future to the team.
Does this deal help with the cause?
