The NBA Trade deadline is a wild time every year. Even when it\u2019s boring, the anticipation, the rumors, and the conversations continue at a rapid pace. This year should be no different, and for the Dallas Mavericks, the range of outcomes is far and wide.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks have actually made an in-season trade for seven straight years. Given the state of the team, the front office *should* make it eight straight years. But seeing as how the team doesn\u2019t have a listed General Manager (just two interim GMs, held over from the previous administration, I suppose anything is possible.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s trade deadline is Thursday, February 5th, at 2pm CST. That means trades must be phoned in (literally) by this deadline, although there is a queue. As long as teams are in that queue, trades can be processed until it\u2019s completed. This will be updated and republished regularly until the deadline passes. Posts in this deadline will be published with the newest rumors at the top and older ones further down the page. Check back often!<\/p>\n
January 6th – The Raptors are still interested in Anthony Davis<\/p>\n
Jake Fischer said this on his Bleacher Report show today<\/a>. This is one of those rumors that was reported on earlier in the season when it was clear Dallas was stanky and that they needed to start to assess options.<\/p>\n January 6th – Hawks are playing hardball with the Mavericks<\/p>\n According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype<\/a>, things between the Hawks and Mavericks are at a bit of a stalemate. Of course, that may have to do with the discussions between the Hawks and Wizards regarding Trae Young, but it seems as if Dallas may be asking for too much when it comes to moving Anthony Davis. Scotto says the Hawks are not keen on moving former number 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher and that the Mavericks have been focusing on prying away the 2026 first-round pick sent to Atlanta by New Orleans.<\/p>\n Which, let\u2019s be clear, if Dallas gets that pick for Anthony Davis, give whoever locks down that trade the keys to the kingdom. Perhaps things start moving once Young is moved.<\/p>\n December 30th – Risacher could be key piece if Dallas trades Anthony Davis to Atlanta<\/p>\n
