Why This Trade Would Benefit The Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks have not been a win-now team in recent years but put up a good fight in the postseason down in the bubble. This gave the franchise hope that they would become a consistent staple in the postseason moving forward. They have not looked the part this season but could continue to improve if they find a trade for a big-time player.
Fournier would give the team even more prowess along the perimeter. They already have Doncic and Tim Hardaway Jr. in the backcourt as players who can score from anywhere on the floor.
Porzingis was a name that was thrown around in NBA trade rumors but they have quieted down in recent weeks. This is a transfer Mark Cuban to get another player in hopes of contending. Fournier has spent a lot of time in Orlando and could benefit from a change of scenery and his next contract.

This is a chance for both sides to benefit from a deal. Cuban is an owner who is not afraid to make a big splash and one could be coming if the team continues to struggle like they are.
