The Dallas Mavericks have had many struggles throughout the season. Since the Kyrie Irving trade, we have seen the flaws that the Mavs have had, and now they have addressed them. With new ownership in Dallas, which has given more money to Mark Cuban and Nico Harrison to play with, Now, the Mavs have filled their weak wing spot with defender PJ Washington. It will be good to see him next to Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. They filled their big-man role by trading Daniel Gafford. He can help rebound and finish around the rim.

The Mavericks did not have to give up much. All they did was send Grant Williams to the Hornets along with hometown kid Seth Curry and a first-round pick. This move shows Luka that Dallas means business, as they are willing to fill in every hole in the roster. The Clippers or Nuggets should feel scared. The Mavericks have brought in help along with their franchise stars.
