Dallas Mavericks Receive: G Luke Kennard, F Justise Winslow
LA Clippers Receive: F Maxi Kleber, C Dwight Powell
The Dallas Mavericks would receive the headliner of this hypothetical NBA trade scenario by bringing in Luke Kennard from the LA Clippers.
In order to land Kennard, the Mavericks would be sent out Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. However, they wouldn’t just receive Kennard as Justise Winslow would be included, too.
It never hurts to add more shooting around an elite playmaker like Luka Doncic and a trade for Kennard would bring precisely that. He would thrive in a bench role helping to add more scoring alongside Jalen Brunson in the bench backcourt, too.
There is already an overabundance of options at the center position for the Mavericks. The team brought back Boban Marjanovic in addition to acquiring Moses Brown in a trade — all the while, Kristaps Porzingis’ needed position likely will end up being center, too.

Adding another wing into the fold in Justise Winslow would be an intriguing option for the Mavericks. In order to pull off going small, adding players of that nature would be needed, especially if Maxi Kleber were to be included in a potential trade.
How does this trade impact both teams? Let’s take a look at it from each team’s perspective, beginning with the Mavericks.
