AG can play point forward and is actually a better passer than Brunson (who happens to be the next best playmaker the Mavs have), Unlike DFS and Maxi, AG can create his own shot and not just stand around the 3 point line and wait for Luka's pass. He is a threat to shoot from distance, a lob threat and also has the advance moves to score in the paint un-assisted (something neither DFS or Kleber could).
And then there is AG's defense.
There was a game where I was very impressed with AG's one-on-one defense against Luka. Luka couldn't seem to shake him easily, AG was always in front of Luka and Luka couldn't bully him. Of course, Luka scored a lot anyway, but on some plays, AG made Luka give up the ball. If AG brings that kind of defense and effort to the Mavs he'd easily be the Mavs best defender against big wings and small 4s.
AG seems to be a fit, a versatile big who can also play make. If the Mavs need to include Brunson in a trade, so be it. Mavs will trade a starting PG who can't start for a starting PF who can, and also play the point.
But of course if Orlando settles for the rookies (either or both) Green and Terry, then, much better trade for the Mavs.
What I would like:
Gordon+Fournier for Powell+Johnson+Terry
