1. Miles Bridges

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is someone whom the Dallas Mavericks have reportedly been linked to this season, and a trade with Charlotte that nets both him and P.J. Washington could considerably help this team.

Bridges is someone who many Mavs fans would not approve of coming to Dallas due to his actions off the court in the past, but his performance on the court has been excellent this season.

Bridges is averaging 20.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 46.0 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from behind the arc. He would be an excellent fit into Dallas' starting lineup, as he is a good shooter off the catch and has the size and strength to be a versatile defender.

Offensively, Bridges is a reliable shooter and an excellent slasher. Bridges attacks the rim with force and is a great dunker. He also attacks closeouts well and occasionally finishes with a floater in the paint.

His offensive game is strong and he is on an expiring contract. If he doesn't end up working out, Dallas could let him walk. If he does fit well in Dallas, they could consider re-signing him. He is only 25 years old and could be a future piece to build around if his attitude and playstyle fit into the Mavs' culture.

For all the latest news and rumors on the Dallas Mavericks heading into the trade deadline, stay tuned.
