(Trade for December 15 when players become available)

The Bucks are off to a strong start this season but will need reliable guard play if they want to make a deep playoff push. The Mavs are rumoured to be experimenting with AD / Kyrie trade possibilities and are looking to build a future with Flagg. Here's how they can help each other:

• Bucks get much needed perimeter scoring with Kyrie and much needed perimeter defence with Klay. Kyrie and Giannis together gives the Bucks a great chance at winning chips. Bucks starting 5 would be one of the deadliest in the league

• Mavs get two 1st round picks and a 2nd to better their future with Flagg, and bring in Myles Turner to upgrade their starting centre position and create better floor spacing. After getting Myles, this also opens up the possibility of packaging Gafford or Lively for more picks

Bucks starting 5:

• PG: Rollins

• SG: Kyrie

• SF: Klay

• PF: Portis

• C: Giannis

Mavs starting 5:

• PG: D'Lo

• SG: Christie

• SF: Flagg

• PF: AD

• C: Turner
