NBA Trade Rumors: 5 players the Dallas Mavericks should target this offseason 

NBA Trade Rumors: Should Serge Ibaka be on the Dallas Mavericks' wish list?

NBA Trade Rumors: Serge Ibaka could have a lot to offer to the Dallas Mavericks

A recent NBA champion, Serge Ibaka is a 7'0" center who is lethal from three-point range.

Ibaka has proven himself in clutch moments and as a big man who can shoot. He is also a great team defender and would be a significant addition to the roster of any team.

Elite on both ends of the floor, Serge Ibaka would be an instant starter and could help the Dallas Mavericks take the proverbial leap.

The only worry here is that Serge Ibaka's rim protection abilities have seemed shaky in the past year, bringing an air of doubt over how good he really is.

But with the quality and versatility, the 31-year-old would bring, he must be on the Dallas Mavericks' wish list all the same.

NBA Trade Rumors: Montrezl Harrell could be the defensive specialist that the Dallas Mavericks need

NBA Trade Rumors: Montrezl Harrell could be the defensive center-piece for the Dallas Mavericks

Montrezl Harrell is a 26-year-old 6'7" power forward who is elite on the defensive end of the floor but is not as impactful on the offensive end.

While this would not be the Dallas Mavericks' best-case scenario, offense is hardly a problem for this team.

The reigning sixth man of the year, Montrezl Harrell could be the defensive specialist that the Dallas Mavericks need so desperately to compete with the best on both ends of the floor.

We could potentially see the team transform defensively if the Dallas Mavericks indeed were to sign Montrezl Harrell.

NBA Trade Rumors: A move for Goran Dragic could boost the Dallas Mavericks' offense without hurting them on the defensive end

NBA Trade Rumors: Goran Dragic could take up the role of point-guard when Luka Doncic needs rest

A complete departure from the other entries on this list, Goran Dragic is a 6'3" guard who is an elite playmaker.

Luka Doncic may be the first choice point-guard for the Dallas Mavericks but as we saw in the playoffs, there were times when there needed to be another reliable ball-handler on the team.

If the NBA trade rumors regarding this move were to come true, Doncic would be given some much-needed rest and additionally would be able to take shots that are of higher efficiency.

With Dragic being a positive factor on the defensive end as well, this move could boost the Dallas Mavericks' offense exponentially without hurting them on the defensive end.
