The Dallas Mavericks begin the 2024 NBA Playoffs on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, but fans will see a rematch between Dallas and Los Angeles after the Mavs lost in the first round of the 2020 and 2021 playoffs. I can't wait.
The entire city is buzzing with preparations for this great series, with both teams rushing to get in shape for this highly anticipated matchup.
Both teams have been plagued by injuries, and the Mavs may be able to beat the Clippers at the perfect time, with Kawhi Leonard's availability uncertain.
His availability for Game 1 was uncertain, and to make things even better, Derek Lively II had a full practice on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Lively II suffered a knee sprain in late March, but at this rate he should be able to play on Sunday.
While the entire NBA world is buzzing with talk of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the offseason has already begun for some teams. The teams that didn't make it to the play-in tournament, or the teams that lost in the play-in tournament (if they were the 9th seed or if they were the 10th seed), have already gone home and their focus is already on the offseason and building the best team. Moving on to the method. Possibly on next year's roster.
One such team is the Golden State Warriors, whose big three of Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green may not be intact next season. The Warriors lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament on Tuesday night, but it may be time to make some big changes in The Bay in order to get back to winning championships.
In this proposal, the Dallas Mavericks would make a major trade with the Golden State Warriors to acquire one of their star shooters.
Here, we evaluate this blockbuster trade for both teams and explain the pros and cons for both teams involved.
