Could the Mavs swing the fences for a huge trade?
The Dallas Mavericks are coming off an improbable run to the NBA Finals, losing in five games to the Boston Celtics. Some tweaks are needed, and while General Manager Nico Harrison has said he expects the top 7-or-8 players from last season to still be in the rotations next, fans are curious about what moves could be up Harrison's sleeve.
On the debut episode of "To The Baha" with Theo Pinson, another former Maverick, Felton suggests bringing in George would be an incredible combination."This summer though, gotta go get another scorer," Felton stated. "Gotta go get another playmaker. If you can steal a guy like Paul George, go get him. If you can get a Paul George here ... it's probably not gonna happen, but they're trying to do three All-Stars in , so why not try to do three here?...
The only way this works for the Mavericks is a sign-and-trade or an opt-in-and-trade from George with him controlling where he wants to go. For Dallas to match that $48 million number though, they'd likely have to give up Tim Hardaway Jr., Maxi Kleber, Josh Green, Dwight Powell, and two of the three of A.J. Lawson, Jaden Hardy, and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, plus draft capital and a two-or-three-year max contract to George the moment the trade is completed to get the deal done.
There's no chance the Clippers could recover anything close to what they gave up for George, given his age, but there's not a lot to be excited about in the Mavs' offer outside of Green, Prosper, and Hardy unless they can turn some of those bigger salaries into other future draft capital. They have no reason to gut their roster, as they don't have full rights on any of their first-round picks until 2030.
