Welcome Back To Mavericks” Mavericks Star Player That Go For Injury For 1year’ Return Back Successful
After deciding to use their 15th slot in the roster to sign Spencer Dinwiddie for a one-year contract last week, the Dallas Mavericks have essentially finalized their lineup. However, that doesn’t stop the trade machine from making recommendations.
The Brooklyn Nets’ fan favorite Dorian Finney-Smith might be acquired in exchange for Maxi Kleber and a 2025 first-round selection (top ten protected) according to a trade proposal made by Bleacher Report. Given that they received five first-round picks and a pick swap in exchange for Mikal Bridges, the Nets probably believe they can get more out of Finney-Smith; nevertheless, they could treat him well and send him back to Dallas.
From 2016 until the trade for Kyrie Irving at the 2023 trade deadline, Finney-Smith was a member of the Mavericks. He became a 3&D player and made his impact as an undrafted free agent. Upon his departure from the Mavs, his three-point shooting percentage had increased to over 39%. However, after the trade to the Nets, he’s only hit 33.7% from long range. Without Luka Doncic, life might be challenging.
However, the thought of exchanging him for Maxi Kleber seems alluring. Kleber has been hurt a lot in the playoffs, so his $11 million contract seems excessive considering his output. Finney-Smith may play the same job as him, but he gives good defensive versatility.
