Dallas Mavericks
Chicago Bulls Receive: F Davis Bertans, C Dwight Powell, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have had a fairly underwhelming season as well. At 16-16, they are not meeting expectations.
