The Dallas Mavericks have had a successful offseason, beginning with the trade of Tim Hardaway Jr. and three second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons for Quentin Grimes. Grimes adds an elite defender and promising 3-point shooter to the Mavs’ roster while also bringing in a younger player.
They followed this up with the signing of Naji Marshall and a sign-and-trade for Klay Thompson, both of which will benefit them greatly. Grade the Trade: Mavericks sign Knicks All-Star forward in big deal. Thompson is ready to take over as the team’s starting small forward, and his shooting alongside Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic will be extremely beneficial. The Mavericks will try for innovative ways to incorporate Thompson into the scheme, and he will also help with the scoring issues that plagued the team during the NBA Finals.
While Dallas has done a great job of constructing their roster, they still have work to do. The Mavs still have one open roster spot, and signing the right player that addresses some of their needs with this spot will be crucial. While whoever is signed with this spot likely won’t play much, it will be crucial for them to sign someone who is ready to roll when their number is called.
The Mavs could also elect to upgrade their roster on the trade market if they really want to shake things up. In this blockbuster proposal, the Mavericks give up an absolute haul of players and draft picks to land an All-Star forward from the New York Knicks, but is this deal worth it for them? We’ll dive into the trade details and grade the trade for both teams involved.
