Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
Well, “perfect” might be a stretch.
Wall might not even be the next-best ball-handling option on this roster behind Luka Doncic. That award likely goes to Spencer Dinwiddie. Are we sure the Mavericks should sacrifice Finney-Smith?

Meanwhile, Christian Wood makes up for Finney-Smith’s floor spacing, while Maxi Kleber makes up for his defense.
