6. Torrey Craig

Another Chicago Bulls player that the Dallas Mavericks should consider trading for is Torrey Craig.

This season in Chicago, Craig is averaging 5.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.6 steals per game while shooting 41.6 percent from downtown. Craig is having a great first season in Chicago, and he would be a great fit in Dallas if they were ever to pursue him.

Just like Jevon Carter, landing Craig would be much easier for the Mavs if they trade Zach LaVine and or DeMar DeRozan first. That would entail that the Bulls are entering a rebuild, meaning that Craig wouldn't do much good if they kept him.

Contenders would be calling the Bulls in an effort to trade Craig due to the fact that he is a great defender and stretches the floor on offense. You can never have too many 3-and-D players, especially when the playoffs roll around, and Craig has already played in 75 playoff games over his career.

Craig's ability to guard both forwards and guards on defense would be utilized in Dallas, and he would be amazing off the bench for this team. He also works extremely hard and brings the grit that playoff teams need deep into the season.

Craig is currently on a two-year deal with a player option after this season.
