Dallas Mavericks Receive: F/C Lauri Markkanen, G Collin Sexton, G/F Talen-Horton Tucker, 2025 First-Round PIck (CLE via UTA), 2026 First-Round Pick (MIN or CLE via UTA), 2027 First-Round Pick (Top 4 Protected – LAL via UTA), 2028 First-Round Pick (UTA), 2030 First-Round Pick (UTA)
Utah Jazz Receive: G/F Luka Doncic
Let’s be clear: the Mavericks won’t accept any package for Doncic unless he requests a trade.
If he does, the type of package they’ll accept will depend on their philosophy. If they want to stay relevant, this deal may help them do so.
After all, it’s got them landing a potential All-NBA player in Markkanen. He emerged as a true star this year. Markkanen could probably carry Dallas into respectability next season.
Of course, he’s not Doncic. That’s why the Mavs are receiving five first-round picks here. At the same time, either team could decline this deal.

The Jazz may want to pair the two European stars. On the other hand, Dallas may prefer a cleaner slate.
In either case, this next deal ought to work better.
