This is a very complicated trade deadline for the Dallas Mavericks. Why? Let me spin you two different stories.
Sell! Sell! Sell!
The Mavericks are in sixth place, and things don’t look good. Luka Doncic returned from an ankle sprain and the Mavericks have lost six of their last 10. The schedule only gets harder, with a five game road trip upcoming against West teams that are clumped up in the standings. Another bad week of basketball and the Mavericks could be outside the play-in tournament.
Defensively, the team has fallen apart without Maxi Kleber, out with a torn hamstring.
