Summary:
The Dallas Mavericks have been one of the best teams in the whole of the nba after the trade deadline and are only looking to get better. They are currently participating in one of the most interesting series in the playoffs right now. If they lose Mark Cuban and his team are ready to make drastic changes. Luka is one of the best alley oop throwers that he revived lob city with KYRIE IRVING. If he manages to get a player like John Collins I can confirm to you the it will get real exciting in Dallas. John Collins has one of the highest Efg% for Pick & Rolls in the whole of the nba. The Mavericks will have to part ways with THJ to bring in Caris LeVert. Caris LeVert is an amazing defensive player who will help for Luka and Kyries lackluster defence. His pairing with Daniel Gafford would work really well as we've seen him play at his best when playing with Dpoy favourite Jarrett Allen. Caris LeVert is the most realistic possiblity because the Cavs might just blow their 2 - 0 lead and Donovan Mitchell could be on the way out. If so the Cavaliers get a great young player in O-Max and the Mavericks 2025 Frp. Instead of targeting older veterans the Mavericks go for younger UDFA in free agency. This is because this in the 2024 playoffs we've seen alot of the older players being unable to stay and play at the level of younger players. The mavericks sign some nba ready UDFA and become a Major Threat. The only "problem" that the Mavericks have is that they pass they second apron by a mere 2 million. Though this issue can be resolved because Jaden Hardy is not guarrented so they could let him go or trade him for a few seconds. This trade makes the Mavericks true contenders and it also gives you an oppoturnity to like the Trade and Comment.
