One player I think the Mavs should consider trading for is Deni Avdija. He's a bigger wing (6'8") and already an above-average defensive player. He rebounds really well for a forward which is something we need help with. He averaged 8.7 rebounds per 36 minutes last season which is strong for a forward. His weakness has been shooting but he's shooting much better this season- 42% from 3 and 58% from 2 this season. I don't expect him to maintain those averages but it's a good sign that he's improved this weakness in his game. He's still only 22 so there's plenty of room for improvement.
I would suggest the following trade:
Mavericks trade Richaun Holmes, Jaden Hardy and a 2nd-round pick i.e. for Deni Advija and Danilo Gallinari.
The Wizards might consider the deal as Hardy is a talented young scorer with another cheap year under contract. This might not be enough for the Wizards though. At the risk of serious blasphemy, I'd consider adding OMax to the deal with Hardy. I'd then expect several 2nd-round picks in return.
I think Advija would upgrade our top-8 rotation and it's a move that should be considered. Jaden Hardy isn't receiving minutes here and I think we should trade him somewhere where he can grow his game.
