Bulls exploring Zach LaVine market; Top 5 landing spots

4. Dallas Mavericks

Dallas could be set for a crucial offseason after pushing its chips in before the trade deadline to acquire Kyrie Irving. While the move didn’t end up moving the needle on the Mavericks’ playoff chances for 2023, general manager Nico Harrison will have to determine if they want to continue to move forward with a pairing of Luka Doncic and Irving. Finding a playmaker next to Doncic has been the Mavericks’ goal dating back to their time with Jalen Brunson in the team’s backcourt. LaVine offers a younger alternative than Irving who has played just 60 games in a season, once, over the last six years.
