Dallas Mavericks: 5 significant trades the Mavs must consider
The NBA trade season is here!! Two weeks from now from various players could be finding new homes. For the Dallas Mavericks, it can only mean one thing: roster upgrades.
At the beginning of the month, a mural outside Deep Ellum in Dallas depicted a frowning Luka Doncic calling Dallas management to send help.
The Dallas Mavericks desperately need to add talent to their roster to help in the short-term and long-term
While the sign did eventually get taken down, could this point towards a chance of scenery?
Possibly.
With the Mavs in desperate need of an upgrade, here are five trade scenarios the team must consider:
1. Myles Turner & Buddy Hield Trade
One idea that could work is adding two scorers in need of a chance. Both Turner and Hield have been in trade talks for over a year. Turner, a Dallas native, would provide the Mavs with rebounding/scoring big who can play a little bit of defense.
As for Hield, he is a 42.4 percent three-point shooter who could help solve some of the team’s shooting woes.
The question though is: What could Dallas give up?
Some options include Tim Hardaway Jr., Christian Wood, Dwight Powell and a future first/second round draft pick.
The most realistic option would probably include Wood. The 6’9 forward has been a big asset. In three out of his past five games, he has averaged a double-double.
Assuming Dallas does not extend Wood, then this would be a top option to consider.
