Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
The equation for each side in this deal is simple. Which do they need more – shot creation or floor spacing?
The Mavericks have one of the best shot-creators in the NBA. Luka Doncic is a superstar. He creates shots for himself and others on a nightly basis.
Nobody else on this team does so at an especially high level. Spencer Dinwiddie is a good player, but he doesn’t feel like sufficient help in that department. LeVert would add some much-needed dynamism to this Mavericks’ offense.
Yes, they’d miss Hardaway Jr. At the same time, the Mavs have enough shooters to cover for him.
