Hardaway - Levert feels something with potential to be a real deal. Mavs might even ask for (and get) a side tip of some sort, since Levert's value is reduced by the fact he's a rental (while THJ is on a reasonably-priced contract that declines from year to year).
I do see hidden value for the Mavs in Levert's much better playmaking ability, in light of Mavs' need for such.
Whether this would create a hole depends on how you view THJ's ability to be that needed shooter for Luka. CLE sees what so many here see, which is THJ being a real plus factor in games when he gets hot and hits lots of 3s. Personally, I see him as quite overrated, because imo there are way too many crappy outings per good one, so I'd be very open to move on and get out from under the contract (and try to fill that need elsewhere).
