Dallas Mavericks: A Four Team Draft Night Trade Idea

The Dallas Mavericks own the 9th overall pick in the draft in an offseason where they look to continue getting younger.

With the draft just a few short weeks away, rumors are swirling around the league about potential draft night trades with picks or teams looking to shed salary.

With that in mind, I took a few storylines around the league and combined them into a four team trade that could make sense for all parties. The complete trade would look something like this where the following teams would receive what is noted.

Dallas Mavericks: Jon Leuer, 12th overall pick (Pistons)

Detroit Pistons: Ricky Rubio, 22nd overall pick (Nets)

Minnesota Timberwolves: Wesley Matthews, Quincy Acy

Brooklyn Nets: Reggie Jackson, Nemanja Bjelica

Dallas

If the mindset going forward is truly getting younger, then trading Wesley Matthews for basically the 12th overall pick in the draft would be a solid return, especially in this draft.
