Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
By contrast, this is a little more nuanced for the Mavericks.
After all, they probably need movement shooting more than they need LeVert’s creation, too. This team’s offense is likely to focus on their newly formed backcourt. What are they doing here?
Well, they’re flipping a long-term contract for an expiring one for starters. The Mavericks have the draft capital and the moveable contracts to land a third star this summer. This deal frees up some space to help them do so.
In the meantime, they could use someone to carry their second unit. This is partly about replacing Spencer Dinwiddie.

Moreover, LeVert is shooting well from long range this year – he’ll at least space the floor for Doncic and Irving. If everything clicks, the Mavericks could shock the world this season.
