Analysis of trade
By trading away Thj mavs have the ability to sign Djj
By trading Maxi/Green/Powell/Hardy and a 1st Mavs have the ability to sign Klay Thompson and add Alex Caruso
These trades would bring the Mavs under the 1st Apron where they can sign Love for Bi annual
Mavs would still have the 12.5m NTME available
Pros and Cons of Klay Thompson Pros
shot 39% from 3s 18ppg at lowest FGA since being an Allstar
Still a good defender
Ability to play Sf and SG while giving mavs easy versatility to sub out for defense
Mavs would have 3 players at 40% from 3s. Defenses cant target Djj as the open man and Kyrie cant draw double teams off ball
Klay is a champion you are bringing in someone that can match the standard of the team while having the experience compared to bringing in someone who has not been in this situation.
Although Klay was not on the Mavs for the finals run his previous experience would allow the team to value him as he was
Cons
Aging player
No longer Elite at defense
Pros and Cons of Alex Caruso
2 way player that could fill in the voids Mavs have
Player comp would be derrick white
energy player off the bench who could start at sg or sf if needed
perfect to pair with Kyrie or Luka when either player is subbing out
Caruso is also a previous champion and would assimilate same way as Klay
Cons
Final year of contract
Would require first round draft pick in trade
Pros and Cons of Kevin Love Pros
Team friendly deal
Provides Mavs with a stretch 4 or 5 for matchups Mavs need shooting
Previous teammate of Kyrie
Love is a previous champion - rounding out a group of 3 that can fit with the culture
Cons
Age
Injury history
With the NTME Mavs can potentially bring in a 3rd ball handler KCP, Bruce brown, Spencer Dinwiddie
