NBA 2K19 MyGM: 30 Franchise-Saving Trades You Must Make

24. Dallas Mavericks

Anthony Davis NBA 2K19

Players Out (position, rating, contract value/length, age):

Wesley Matthews (SG, 77, $18.62m/1, 31), Jalen Brunson (PG, 70, $4.31m/3, 22)

Players In (Philadelphia 76ers):

Markelle Fultz (PG, 76, $8.34m/1+2T, 20), Jerryd Bayless (PG, 69, $8.58m/1, 30)

Why:

Now in full-on rebuild mode, the Mavs added uber-talented rookie Luka Doncic and one season of DeAndre Jordan without tying up significant cash this summer. That's a win, but there's still work to be done if they're to keep pushing forward, and the team still need a couple of development pieces.

Fultz's two-year team option makes him an enticing mid-term prospect, and though Bayless is close to useless, he's only around for a single season.
