But it'd take a massive trade. Unless Dame forces his way here I don't see it.
Though IGT did just mention what I find to be the most plausible scenario.
Kawhi comes to Dallas through FA (weird that there were rumblings about it so early), Dame forces a trade here, and the Mavs form quite possibly the scariest big 3 ever assembled.
Dame can't force a trade to Dallas. He has 4 years left. Other teams will pay bigger packages for him than Dallas can and will not be concerned about his "demand". Toronto traded for one year of Kawhi when he clearly did not want to go there. I can't think of any scenario where Dame goes to Dallas.
