With a new GM and a new coach, the Dallas Mavericks have already moved a lot. But they should be very active this summer, to bury better Luka Doncic. And, in the event that those players do move, the Mavs are aiming for nothing less than Kawhi Leonard or Mike Conley !
Obviously, we are only at the stages of rumors. But the Dallas Mavericks would be wrong to deprive themselves of dreaming.
We told you this morning, Kawhi Leonard has an option for next season. He could therefore lift it and guarantee himself a longer contract.
Logic would want him to extend to the Clippers, so much he wanted to return home, in Los Angeles, two years ago. But in case he wants to look elsewhere, the Dallas Mavericks would be one of the teams on the lookout according to The Ringer. And the prospect of a duet with Luka Doncic would be quite maddening …
Mike Conley, free agent this summer, could be a more “realistic” target. In an episode of the Hollinger & Duncan NBA Show, John Hollinger assures us that Dallas is ” a team to watch »Concerning the free agency of the leader of Utah Jazz.
The last time he was free, the Mavericks had already tried to sign him. He had finally decided to re-stack with the Memphis Grizzlies, who had traded him to the Utah Jazz.
This season, Mike Conley, who is 33, was still running at 16.2 pts, 6 wt and 3.5 rbds, with a very nice 41.2% at 3-pts. Above all, among the leaders of high caliber, he is probably the one who plays best without the ball, as he showed alongside Donovan Mitchell in particular.
A real asset to play alongside Luka Doncic who has a lot, but a lot of the ball in his hands. So certainly, a duo between the young Slovenian and Kawhi Leonard has something to fantasize about. But signing the leader of Jazz seems more realistic and would also be a very nice move.
