Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal 

By contrast, this is a win-now move for the Mavericks. They’re doing this deal to acquire Bamba. 

Some may question the wisdom of that decision. It’s fair to say that Bamba hasn’t had the best start to his NBA career. Still, one wonders how he’d look on a winning team. 

After all, Bamba’s skillset is one that should complement a star. He’s not going to be the focal point of an offense. If he can focus on spacing the floor and defending the rim for a contender, he could be a highly effective player. 

That’s the gamble Dallas is making here. If it doesn’t work out, they’re only moving a non-spacing big and a pair of second-round picks for him.
