Hope Isn’t True: Dennis Smith Jr. To Get Traded
With Luka Doncic having a brilliant rookie campaign, it has made Dennis Smith Jr. expandable as far as the Dallas Mavericks are concerned. The team believes that Smith isn’t a great fit next to Doncic, and needs the ball in his hands to be effective.
With the Mavs intending to rightfully build around Doncic, that has left Smith out of the equation with many league executives reporting that a trade could be in the works.
And while the Mavs’ concerns are justified, they may be giving up on Smith too soon as he is still an impressive player who could adjust his game to make it work.
