3. Dream - Paul George

Although it seems like Paul George is going to opt into his contract with the LA Clippers and then get traded elsewhere, but regardless, George would be a monster for the Dallas Mavericks.

Former Mavericks guards Theo Pinson and Raymond Felton suggested Dallas should make this move, and if they found a way to land George, they'd have one of the best big threes of all time with George, Kyrie Irving, and Luka Doncic.

Last season for LA, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from downtown. George would be elite off the ball and with the ball in his hands playing next to Doncic and Irving, and he is the perfect player to pair with them.

Landing George would be a dream come true for Mavs fans, but getting him here would be a huge challenge. Dallas doesn't have the money to sign him outright, and him coming here in a trade is a pipe dream, but this team would be unbelievable with him on the roster.

It seems probable that he will end up with the Philadelphia 76ers, and if that happens, Mavs fans should be grateful they only have to play him twice a year. Whenever George is healthy and playing with confidence, he is a monster.
