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

[KillerLeft]

I define "3rd banana" as someone you can run your offense through. I don't think you ever want that for THJ, he should always be a support, a shooter, a floor spacer for the 1-3 bananas. 

I think Buddy Hield COULD be that (and it is why I am open to swapping Buddy and THJ) because I think Buddy can be a Reggie Miller kind of guy where I do NOT think THJ can do that.

So much this. The next (big splash) guy the Mavs add MUST be a dude who can initiate offense, especially if the second dude is Porzingis. 

To be fair, Oladipo is probably better than THJ in this area, if you think you'll ever see the good version of him again. I just think there will be better options available in the near to medium future. Options that aren't so risky.
