Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
The hard part is over for Dallas. They got Doncic his co-star. Now, they need to fill out this roster.
In particular, this group wants more 3-and-D wings. Most of Dallas’ offensive creation will come from its newly assembled backcourt – they simply need low-usage role players around them.
That’s McDaniels. He’s a long athlete with tremendous defensive instincts. He also spaces the floor. He’d be the perfect addition to this team.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks added Irving at something of a discounted price. They can afford to part with a swap if it makes this team stronger.
