#3 Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors)

Kyle Lowry is one of the prime assets available in a trade-off for the Dallas Mavericks this season, as his contract is ending soon.

Lowry might not be the most talented player in the Dallas Mavericks team but could facilitate the team's offense with his scoring and playmaking abilities on a nightly basis.

Kyle Lowry has a lot of playoff experience under his belt during his time with the Toronto Raptors. More importantly, he has helped get them to the summit, winning the franchise's first NBA title in history.

Lowry knows what it takes to play with superstars in a team. He could also help guide the Dallas Mavericks' young star duo and take them to the NBA finals.

#4 Jerami Grant (Detroit Pistons)

Jerami Grant has been tearing it up this season and is posting the highest averages of his career.

He used to be a role player during his time with the OKC Thunder but has broken out of his shell this campaign and is playing an all-around game.

With Grant's talents getting wasted in Detroit, a deal that sends him to a title contender would be the right move for his future.

At the Dallas Mavericks, he could play more freely, as the defense will concentrate more on Luka Doncic and KP. That would open up shots for Grant on the wing. He is a great two-way player who would bring his prowess to the table with his defensive skills.

#5 Nikola Vucevic (Orlando Magic)

Nikola Vucevic is pumped in a game against Milwaukee Bucks.

Despite the Orlando Magic's recent troubles, Nikola Vucevic has performed for them at an elite level. He is having a career year, averaging 21.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists this season.

However, bringing over Vucevic won't be an easy task. But if anyone can pull the trade off, it would have to be the Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

With the Dallas Mavericks having a history of doing well with international players, this could be another great move that bolsters their side.

However, the Dallas Mavericks need a solid big man taking care of business in the paint area. In that regard, Vucevic could a prime candidate for this role.

Not only would he help them defensively, but he would also contribute with his scoring abilities on a nightly basis. So his addition would drastically improve the Dallas Mavericks' chances of a deep 2021 playoffs run.
