TRADE: OKC gets Caruso | CHI gets Giddey

[dirkfansince1998]

The West is an arms race.

OKC is going to make a big splash. HOU rumored to be pushing all their chips in to improve. Spurs aren't going to sit by and waste more Wemby seasons. Rumors that the Kings and Jazz are going for Lavine.

Mavs have to make a splashy move to keep up.

Mavs most recent trade/free agency success wasn't really about big splashs and considering that they aren't in the same conversation as the mentioned teams when it comes to available picks and capspace I think they would be better off with a copy of the last offseason/trade deadline. Searching for players that fall into the same categories as DJJ, Gafford and PJ. Wrong role, not enough playing time, tanking team...
Hit singles and doubles instead of going for another homerun move.
