Mavericks Plan Bold Move to Add $146 Million Forward for Superteam Aspirations

The Dallas Mavericks are rumored to be setting their sights on a major trade that could bring Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler to the team, forming a formidable trio alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. With Doncic and Irving facing injury setbacks, the Mavericks are reportedly keen on adding a reliable third scorer who can lead the team in their absence.
Bleacher Report has floated a trade scenario that would send Butler to Dallas in exchange for P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall, Daniel Gafford, Maxi Kleber, and two unprotected first-round picks (2025 and 2031). This move would inject star power into the Mavericks’ roster, offering Butler’s seasoned leadership and playoff experience.
However, the trade raises questions about Dallas’ depth, particularly in the frontcourt. Losing players like Gafford or Washington could thin their rotation of big men, potentially forcing Butler to take on a more physically demanding role against larger opponents. While Butler’s versatility is well-documented, the Mavericks might face challenges in maintaining their defensive and rebounding capabilities.
An alternative trade suggestion includes sending Klay Thompson to the Heat instead of either Gafford or Washington, preserving Dallas’ interior strength while adding Butler’s elite skills. Thompson’s salary of $34.1 million over the next two seasons could be a factor for consideration, but integrating Butler could solidify the Mavericks as serious contenders in the Western Conference.
If the Heat were to propose this trade, it’s likely that the Mavericks would find it hard to refuse. Jimmy Butler’s ability to deliver in clutch moments and his proven track record could be exactly what Dallas needs to make a deep postseason run.
