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

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.

As soon as Bill said it, it made too much sense for me. ATL gets their starter they are looking for with Collins, Mavs get their guy that not only can play next to KP, but potentially replace him. Boston gets their PG without touching the core of Tatum+Brown.

I took it a step further and included OKC because they (should be) motivated to get to the salary floor for this season and a THJ for Favors swap makes too much sense as well. 

I think the Mavs would probably have to add Kleber in the deal to ATL, unfortunately, but doing so also frees up enough space to add Bogdanovic's deal to the Mavs. Lots of permutations to this framework.
