Mavericks Deadline Deal

• Mavericks Sent Tim Hardaway Jr, Richaun Holmes, Jaden Hardy and a 2027 FRP To The Wizards For Kyle Kuzma.

Trade Explanation

(Mavericks)

• Kuzma As A Third Option On The Mavericks With Luka & Kyrie Is Honestly Nice. Kuzma Is Probably One Of NBAs Best 2-Way Players Which What Mavericks Desires. Kuzma Can Give You Nice Offense Every Game. He Can Score The Ball Pretty Well, 22 PPG With Nice Effeciency. Can Be A Complementary Passer As Well, 4 Dimes A Game. At The Other Side Of The Ball, He Is Good With It. Can Give You Nice Versatile Defense Every Game & Can Hustle. He Also Have Some Championship Experience Which Is One Of The Few Reasons Why Mavs Needs To Get Him. Losing Jaden Hardy Sucks Since He Is A Pretty Nice Young Player But With How Stacked Mavs Guard Depth Is It'll Most Likely That Hardy Could Fall In The Rotation Especially Postseason Time So Why Not Just Move Him For A Guy Who Is Performing Like A Borderline All Star.

(Wizards)

• It Was Reported That Its Unlikely That Kuzma Will Stay After This Deadline. In This Deal, They Got A Pretty Nice Return For Kuzma. Manage To Get Fillers That They Could Use In Future Trades(Kleber & Holmes). But The Main Focus On The Package Is Jaden Hardy and The 2027 FRP. Which Are Nice Pieces For The Future.
