Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
Frankly, it’s hard to imagine a more natural duo than Luka Doncic and Zach LaVine.
The former relies on craft and creativity for his elite production. Doncic is a poor athlete on NBA standards. It just doesn’t matter. He is possibly the most creative playmaker in the NBA.
By contrast, LaVine is an elite athlete. He also, in comparison to Doncic, has a scoring mentality. Combined, the two could make the Mavericks unstoppable.
With that in mind, they shouldn’t worry about the cost here. Green is having a solid year, but he’s expendable for a player like LaVine.
