After the trade,Mavs can have good startups
PG:Irving SG: Christie SF: Butler PF: AD C:Lively
Still have Spencer Dinwiddie、Naji Marshall、Quentin Grimes ,Highsmith in the bench
The reason why I do for Mavs
1 Lack of connector Both AD and Irving are good finishers, but lack of ability to connect to the whole team,Butler can at least try to what Luka was used to do(Although he can’t done it high level like Luka)
2 Fix the Problem of rooster after AD come to Mavs Before the trade ,PJ Wasghiton play as a stretch 4, and Gafford is a good backup center. Thompson is a startup shooter.After the trade,PJ’s position is replaced by AD ,and his speed can’t let him play small forward for long time. Gafford importance to MAVS decline bec AD and Lively can all play center.Christie’s coming make Thompson could be move since Christie has better defense
3 Upgrades in defense Defense is the reason why Mavs get into the finals,but this year the loss of Jones and coming of Thompson makes defense worse,Butler can bring the defense energy back to Mavs!
The reason why I do for Clippers
A backup center to help them more competitive, and Gafford ability to pick and roll may be perfect fit with James Harden
The reason why I do for Heats
Get a to young player Mann ,and an expiring contract ,and a future 1round pick ,matchup the demand from Pat Riley
The reason why I do for Timberwolves
Lack offense from last season and Randle’s fitness in Wolves is the problem they wanna fix , this trade offer Thompson help the offense and PJ Washington to be the stretch 4 to replace Randle.
The reason why I do for Nets
Future First Round pick
