My (favorite) trade. Received down votes on reddit 
THJ/Bertans/1st/(Hardy) for Conley/Clarkson
Why?
- 3rd playmaker
- leadership with Conley
- shot creation unassisted
- get rid of junk
Why not?
- Conley is old. Too old?
- losing Hardy, if one 1st is not enough
- No one offered a 1st for Conley, which is good i guess
What's the issue Mavs fans have been crying about? The loss of Brunson. Usage here, usage there. Someone who can score without the help of Luka or SD?
I still think the Mavs miss Brunson scoring ability way more than his playmaking. Tho this trade has the potential to fix both issues. Or at least should improve both situations by a lot.
This trade gives Conley for playmaking, Clarkson for iso scoring. Both have decent advanced stats as well. Conley basically leads Utah in most advanced stats.
- Half of Clarkson FG makes are unassisted. Only 18 % of THJ scores are unassisted.
- Luka is at 90 % (leading the league), SD at 66 %. Thats about it
- Brunson is currently at 74 % and was 63.6 last season
- Conley is at 40.7 % and was ~ 60 % last season
- Clarkson is roughly at 50 %
Trade fixes a 3rd playmaker, improves shot creation because both should immediately have the 3rd and 4th best unassisted values on the Mavs, at least on paper.
Conley also gives major leadership vibes, which the Mavs are lacking. No offense Luka. But it felt like Brunson was prolly much more of a leader than Luka.
