You guys are aware that Reaves plays next to 2 All NBA defenders ( AD, Lebron) and another high level NBA level defender ( Vandy) that can cover for him on that end of the court.
Reaves role this season on LAL has been ball handler, scorer and facilator. His scoring along with Hachimura, DLO and other younger players has allowed LeBron and AD to focus more on defensive end.
Him having the same role on the Mavs wouldnt work. Him and Luka would be nightmare defensive paring and an over pay in FA by the Mavs as he wouldnt have the same impact.
Moreover he would take many of Hardys minutes that he needs to develop.
It's interesting to watch Denver hunt him on that end. When players like shooting challenged Aaron Gordon need a bucket they make sure to get a switch on him and just bully him to the rim.
Him and Luka would not be a good combo.
