This Changes Everything for the Dallas Mavericks…

  • The Dallas Mavericks had one of the biggest 2024 NBA trade deadlines with the Daniel Gafford trade and the PJ Washington trade. With the intent of building a competent roster around Luka Doncic that can compete for a championship, getting Daniel Gafford supplies them with a big man that can fit seamlessly alongside Luka Doncic. With the addition of PJ Washington, Luka has a versatile defensive power forward that can space the floor and create for himself off the catch. The Dallas Mavericks needed to make moves, and Grant Williams allowed them to go and get their guys. In a difficult Western Conference, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford might be just what they needed.

      No. PJ shoots even worse than Grant Williams and by all accounts I've heard from Hornets fans he's fat and lazy on defense. And let's be real, Kidd still isn't going to significantly cut Powell's minutes.

    The mavs were the 2nd biggest trade deadline winners behind the knicks. The mavs getting pj washigton and daniel gafford were great pickups especially with gafford. They desperately needed to improve their backup center play and now they got one of the most underrated centers in the league imo

    Their defense is number 2 in the nba when Luka,Kai,DJ,Green, and lively are on the floor together. It’s when they are on the bench that their defense falls off. So this was great for the Mavs as it gives them defensive depth now.

    Finally, someone who gets it on this platform. You are 100 percent correct on why grant had a higher 3-point percentage dude was always wide open then his shot left him for some reason, rumor was he was not used to playing heavy minutes there for he got tired and shot took a hit. PJ and Gaff going to have so much space it's going to be exciting to see how they grow here in Dallas.

    As a Lifelong Local Mavs fan I can personally say this is by far the Deepest roster we have ever had... once we get Exum and Lively back fully Healthy this team is going to be SO scary. I promise you nobody wants to see us in the playoffs, we are going to be such a tough out... we finally have 2 full legit units now. This is a Dangerous Squad. Luka, KY, Hardy,THJ, Green, Exum, DJJ, Washington, Kleber, Lively, Gafford. Thats 11 deep and all of them have the skills and talent to start. So many lineup and rotation options for this Squad now. So excited for this 2nd half and teams Future now... we are about to be Lob City 2.0 with Lively, Gafford, DJJ, Washington and Green

    All the pieces are there.What mavs needed the most was to get those 5 rebounds more per game, that block more, make passing harder and to just go at the rim when Luka was doubled. I dont even think defense was such a problem , their starting 5 defense passed the eye test,less so when Green/Lively and DJ were not on the floor. Now in theory PJ and Gafford fill that void and its on the coaching staff to implent a sistem
