Finney-Smith and Wood led the game in rebounds with nine each. Doncic was especially careless with the ball tonight, turning it over seven times. The Mavericks live and die by the three, and tonight was no different. Atlanta shot 50 percent from deep, while the Mavericks could only muster 38 percent. He’s a tough inside presence on the boards and boxes out well. Atlanta was comfortable shooting anywhere on the court all night, actually, shooting 57 percent from the floor.

Dallas usually takes care of the ball, but tonight they got sloppy.

Though it remains to be seen whether Doncic would ever request a trade one day, the fact is that he wants to win and win right now.

[we’ve detailed](https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2022/11/21/23466312/dallas-mavericks-trades-draft-mark-cuban-nico-harrison-jason-kidd-luka-doncic), in the five years of team building with Luka Doncic, the Mavericks have had a healthy combination of bad luck and poor decisions, which has left them with a roster devoid of assets which could net a reasonable return. It’s worth noting that last season at the trade deadline, the Mavericks front office did make a blockbuster move when none seemed on the horizon, moving Kristaps Porzingis for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans. [Per MacMahon’s sources](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/35467777/why-luka-doncic-trae-young-linked-more-draft-night-trade) within the organization, Doncic “has strongly indicated he wants the Mavs to upgrade” before the NBA’s Feb. Let’s see what they do.” It seems that six months later, Doncic is no longer willing to wait and see what happens.

Dallas Mavericks have been the subject of plenty of rumors as the Feb. 9 trade deadline draws near, and here are grades for three recent hypothetical moves.

He is a strong scorer but does not offer enough else to make this deal worthwhile for the Mavs. He proved he can do that in the playoffs, but he does not offer enough playmaking or defense to make the Mavs a title contender. Dallas can only trade a first-round pick before the deadline if it results in a blockbuster move that pushes them closer to title contention. The Jazz are eager to rebuild after trading away Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert in the offseason, so they would love to add a protected first-round pick. This is a plausible trade, but one that does not move the needle enough for Dallas to give up a first-round pick. Doing so eliminates the Mavericks from trading for a second star, but it could improve their roster right now.
