The Dallas Mavericks could emerge as a natural landing spot for a player such as Donovan Mitchell for several reasons. For one, Mark Cuban is always looking to get a shot at landing a superstar. And Mitchell won’t be any different.

Secondly, the Mavs just lost Jalen Brunson in free agency and should be looking to help find a replacement in the backcourt. Mitchell would fit the bill and would be considered an upgrade. Though, there’s no guarantee that the Mavs would have enough assets to meet Utah’s demands.

In theory, the thought of Mitchell joining Luka Doncic in Dallas seems sound. However, the more you dig at it and try to envision how exactly it gets done, the more doubt that is brought upon the possibility.
