Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal 

What do you do when you’ve got one of the best playmakers in the NBA? Pairing him with a great scorer seems like a reasonable place to start. 

Realistically, Sexton could be the most prolific one Luka Doncic has ever played alongside. The Mavericks are likely to miss Jalen Brunson in 2022-23 – but landing Sexton could certainly ease the pain. 

In fact, his superior scoring acumen could make him a better fit. Suddenly, Mavericks opponents will have two dynamic offensive players to contend with – and they both bring different dynamics. As a general rule, a more varied offense is a better one. 

Moreover, Dallas shouldn’t miss Bertans too badly either. After all, they acquired Christian Wood this summer. He provides similar floor spacing, and he’s also a strong pick-and-roll finisher.

All told, with the addition of Sexton, the Mavericks could have one of the best offenses in the NBA. Barring injury, of course.
