Mavericks and Durant create "Big Four" in realistic trading concepts with the Suns and Pistons

According to US sports media F/W reporter Sidante Gupta. Dallas has the potential to become one of the most dynamic super teams in NBA history by acquiring Kevin Durant. Let's see how the Mavericks can achieve this by trading with the Suns and the Pistons.

Dallas has been a highly controversial team in the NBA. After almost betting on their future by trading Luca Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, he found himself on the verge of a new era, with them finishing the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. On paper, at least, the Mavericks have the potential to be one of the best teams in the league. They have very powerful superstar combinations Davis and Irving. Although Irving's injury will leave him absent until January is expected, the team still has Davis as a backbone for the team until then.

Meanwhile, Dallas is also preparing to pick Duke's product Flag by using their first pick. His joining may change the future of the team. In addition, the Mavericks may make a bigger move, trying to sign Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant in the offseason to form the "Big Four". The Suns' intention to trade Durant has been clear. While facilitating a deal has always been a challenge, we may have an ideal situation where the Suns can complete their plans while turning Dallas into a strong team.

The specific plan is:

The Mavericks get: Durant

The Suns get: Gafford, Christie, 2028 first-round draft pick (DET), 2029 second-round draft pick (via MIL), 2030 second-round draft pick (MIN)

Pistols: Thompson, PJ Washington, Hardy

The Mavericks have their own "Big Four"

When talking about super teams, no one knows them better than Kevin Durant. In the case where he might join another person, the forward may find himself in the best position to win the championship. The proposal to get Durant to join the Mavericks seems almost unfair. Even at 36, the forward is an offensive weapon. Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 52.7% from the field and 43.6% from three-pointers, and Durant can do it all.

Whether in space or creating scoring opportunities, the 15-time All-Star remains one of the best players in the game when it comes to pure offense. In addition, he is 6-foot-11 inches tall and has also brought a lot of defensive heights to the team. The potential advantages of the Mavericks are very incredible. With Irving not in the rotation, Durant effortlessly filled the scoring vacancy. With Davis, Durant has the potential to rebuild a flexible twin tower situation, allowing the big guy to dominate the paint area while attracting defenders from the outside.

The biggest advantage is Flag's development under the guidance of stars. The rookie has a very high ceiling. Under the guidance of Durant and others, he could be a full-blown player, if not one of the best players in the league. With only three players on the court, the Mavericks look very threatening. Adding Irving to the roster midway through the season was either a huge success or a sad failure if the injury reappeared. What do you think?
