Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
Yes, they should. Rookies are seldom ready to contribute to a win-now team, and the Mavericks are hoping to compete for an NBA title next season.
Assuming, of course, that they retain Kyrie Irving. Otherwise, this is a moot point. The Mavericks already know they can’t build a championship offense on Luka Doncic alone.
Let’s assume they keep Irving. The next goal should be to acquire a defensive anchor. If that player has ample experience as a roll man alongside a heliocentric playmaker.
In other words, they need Capela. This is an elite defensive big.
