Wednesday, 11:00 a.m.: NBA insider Jake Fischer reported Wednesday afternoon that Mavericks big man Daniel Gafford remains a leading target as the Indiana Pacers attempt to find a starting center for Tyrese Haliburton next season.
Dallas was also reportedly in talks with the Atlanta Hawks about Gafford. However, the Hawks have since completed a deal to acquire center Jock Landale from the Utah Jazz in exchange for cash considerations.
As of Tuesday night, Fischer reported the Mavericks are seeking first-round draft capital for Gafford.
Mavericks trades
– The Dallas Mavericks sent Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards as part of a massive deal including multiple players and draft picks.
Davis, a 10-time NBA All-Star, will join the Wizards along with Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round and three second-round draft picks.
Davis and Kyrie Irving were supposed to take the post-Doncic Mavericks back to the NBA Finals, but they played just three quarters together, and the duo never had an opportunity to play alongside Cooper Flagg as a versatile trio of No. 1 overall picks.
No intention of coming across as alarmist, but as a statement of fact reminder, NBA trades aren’t complete until all players pass physicals from their prospective new team.
Presumably the Wizards have gathered every shred of Anthony Davis medical info they can, but if it hasn’t…
