If Luka wanted out due to the Mavericks not being able to put pieces around him, the only team that would have the assets to get Luka would be the OKC Thunder.

Mavericks benefits: Josh Giddey would be able to thrive with the Mavericks without a loaded backcourt that the OKC Thunder had. Ousmane Dieng was a rookie lottery pick in 2022 with endless potential. Plus the Mavericks would be getting a ton of draft capital, and more swaps could be added. Dort makes the contracts make sense and is one of the top on ball defenders in the NBA. Bazely is on an expiring deal in which the Mavericks could keep or let him go.

Thunder benefits: Luka Dončić
