Mavericks' smartest trade deadline move would split fans instantly

The Dallas Mavericks have a lot of options ahead of them in the next nine days before the trade deadline, but one player that could undoubtedly yield some intriguing assets in a trade is none other than Naji Marshall. However, while trading Marshall may net some valuable assets such as a budding young player or draft capital, many Mavericks fans would be crushed if he were dealt ahead of the February 5 deadline.

Marshall has become a culture-builder in Dallas and has kept this team afloat amidst one of the toughest stretches in franchise history. His in-between game is lethal, and he's played the best basketball of his career on both ends of the floor since being a Maverick, especially since he's been given the opportunity to assume a bigger role.
