Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal 

The Mavericks do the deal to land Doncic a co-star. Next! 

We’re joking – of course, we’ll elaborate. On the other hand, there’s little else to say. Doncic is such a dynamic playmaker that any offensive star ought to compliment him – as long as they can shoot. 

After all, spacing the floor for Doncic will be a major part of any Mavericks’ job description. Luckily, Hayward can do that. At the same time, he can also make plays for himself whenever Doncic needs a possession off. 

Meanwhile, Hayward plays at a convenient position for the Mavericks. Reggie Bullock has been struggling mightily this season. He’ll still find time in this rotation, but replacing him in the starting lineup has its own benefits for Dallas.
