DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Tyler]

Watching Luka work with Boban picks in the playoffs, personally I have a renewed interest in Steven Adams. He would obviously qualify as a Tier-1 enforcer and his personality would fit well in the locker room. He also has just 1 more year on his deal, but is young enough and good enough that he could stick around long-term if the '21 FA plans don't pan out. Something like Kleber/Wright/Jackson/18 might be intriguing for both teams, as OKC gets several useful assets (to play or package in other deals) for an expiring player and Dallas upgrades Maxi while creating a huge amount of '21 financial flexibility. Of course we'd have to see if the perimeter defense can hold up and how Adams affects the offensive spacing, but IMO it would be a good 1-year experiment with limited downside.
