NBA Trade Rumors |

[chaparral]

Dallas has way bigger needs unless you dont think KP is going to play in the playoffs.

Does Dallas have anyone that you can count on if Luka gets doubled?
Does Dallas have anyone that can guard the opposing team's best perimeter player?

Answer to question 1, no they don't. They need another perimeter ball handler that has an ability to penetrate. Derrick Rose would be my favorite prospect. He's a vet, plays off the bench well, and does exactly what we want. 

Answer to question 2, outside of DFS and Delon, not really. But 2 perimeter defenders are okay. I'd love it for them to get a 3rd. Iggy, Snell, Morris, are all candidates. 

They also very obviously need to upgrade center. Powell is elite at 1 skill, but so mediocre every where else. If Mavs can find someone to replace Powell that'd be huge as well.

I think Drummond could end up in Boston.  So for Detroit to complete the fire sale they do a 3 way with BOS and DAL.  BOS gets Drummond and Jackson.  DET gets Hayward, Curry and Boban.  And DAL's gets the players you mentioned in 1 and 2 above - Rose and Snell.  DET also gets one of BOS 1st and the MAv's GS 2nd.  

Then for the Mavs to upgrade there front line they trade with Sac.  Lee + UT 2nd for Dedmon.

C  - Powell - Dedmon
PF - Porzingis - Kleber
SF - FinneySmith - Snell
SG - Hardaway - Wright
PG - Duncic - Rose
