Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
Unlike the Heat, the Mavs would actually be hoping to get some use out of the player they’re acquiring here.
Lowry is well past his prime. Nobody could dispute that. At the same time, Dallas is desperate for secondary ball handling. The fact that this deal could be plausible for them only speaks to that fact.
Moreover, we’ve never seen Lowry alongside as dynamic an offensive force as Luka Doncic. He may enjoy a career revival with all of the defensive attention his newfound teammate receives.
There’s reason to believe this deal could make the Mavericks a better basketball team in 2022-23.

If it doesn’t? That isn’t a huge deal either. The Mavericks aren’t giving up any significant assets here. Even if this deal doesn’t help them, it won’t hurt them too badly.
Still, they’ll be hoping that Lowry can earn his contract.
