Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
A couple of factors are motivating the Mavericks here.
Firstly, they may find some use for Nunn. This team is starved for secondary ball handling. Nunn is far from a star-caliber contributor, but he can provide a little in that area.
Even Beverley should at least crack this Dallas rotation. His ability to lock down the point-of-attack should cover for Doncic’s defensive woes.
With that said, the Mavericks aren’t solely doing this deal for on-court benefits.

Beverley and Nunn are both on expiring contracts. Bertans has more years left on his deal. This is a cost-cutting measure for Dallas as much as anything else.
Sometimes, that makes for trade value in its own right.
