Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
There are likely to be some Mavericks fans who have their eyes on bigger prizes than Curry or Mills.
That’s fair. It is likely that they will have to part with more than Finney-Smith in order to land those prizes, however. In this deal, the Mavericks are upgrading their secondary playmaking while preserving their draft capital for a larger deal in the future.
Additionally, any ball handler that Dallas would be able to pair with Doncic would need to also be able to space the floor. With this deal, you don’t need to worry about that.
The NBA has many great movement shooters, but Curry is one of the best. The two have already played together and experienced a lot of success when doing so.
Mills may be approaching retirement, but he can still offer this group meaningful minutes on a per-need basis even though he is approaching retirement.
