The Dallas Mavericks will need more shooting at some point during the 2025-26 season, and it seems like a trade to acquire more will be a move that they should explore if things don't go according to plan.
To end last season, Dallas struggled considerably from downtown. Over the last two months of the season (02/13/25 - 04/13/25), the Mavs shot 34.6 percent from downtown (24th in the NBA) and attempted 32.1 threes per game (last in the NBA). Even though the injury curse had infected their core by this point, they weren't attempting many threes while also not shooting them effeciently, and this problem bled into the preseason.
