2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

KOC goes on and mentions Dallas has always had interest in John Collins. Bill then chimed in and threw around a potential 3-teamer with Smart to ATL, Collins to Dallas, and Brunson to Boston given that ATL was poking around a trade for Smart earlier in the season. 

To me, this makes more sense than Smart to Dallas. He'd be even more helpful next to Young than he would be next to Luka, as the Mavs seem to have found something with Green and/or Ntilikina (fingers crossed). 

Meanwhile, Collins would help tremendously with the other main need we always debate around here. 

I like this one a lot, especially if some type of poor man's Brunson can be acquired in a smaller deal or through the buyout market. Maybe Dragic, maybe someone else. 

Tbh, I'd do it even if it meant moving Burke into the rotation for the rest of the year. I've liked what he has given the team this season, and that might help him become slightly more enticing as part of a summer package.
