2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

Both Bogdanovich and Covington help the Mavs matchup with the Clippers... but they do so in different ways. Assume the Clippers role out this lineup to close games

Beverly      <-->    Doncic                      <-->      Doncic           <-->     Doncic
Williams     <-->    JJB/Curry/Wright       <-->      THJ               <-->     Bogdanovich
George       <-->   THJ                          <-->      DFS               <-->     THJ
Kawhi         <-->   DFS                         <-->       Covington      <-->     DFS
Harrell        <-->   Porzingis                   <-->      Porzingis        <-->     Porzingis

The Mavs can match up with Barea, Curry or Wright today, but odds are it will be JJB in the playoffs, unless Curry is hot.

If the Mavs go get Covington, I like the matchup for Dallas much better, but you're asking Doncic to create 100% of the offense. Will this lineup be able to score when Paul Freaking George and Kawhi Freaking Leonard double Doncic? I certainly don't want THJ trying to make plays.

Personally, I like Bogdanovich over Covington. I think he's a much better fit now, and long term, simply because they need at least two playmakers on the floor. The Mavs can then look to get a better small-ball four and upgrade DFS when the opportunity presents itself.

I fully see the appeal for Bog, would absolutely love to see both on our team. Just think for now for this team, RoCo makes the bigger impact in the playoffs. Bog is the ideal upgrade over THJ, that's for sure.
