The Dallas Mavericks remain one of the top teams to monitor ahead of the NBA trade deadline. They are teetering around .500 and with Luka Doncic recovering from a “mild sprain” of his ankle, they could especially benefit from adding a backcourt threat.
Last season, the Mavs thrived when they acquired Spencer Dinwiddie to fill a sixth-man role behind Doncic and Jalen Brunson. With Brunson now a New York Knick and the lack of a third guard emerging as a viable solution, could Dallas make a move to acquire one?
The Mavs entered the season with little point guard depth. They attempted to give Facundo Campazzo and Kemba Walker tries with one-year, non-guaranteed contracts, but both players have been waived without a clear replacemenent.
Jaden Hardy has shown potential, but he’s not getting consistent rotation minutes. He could fit alongside other backcourt options as a combo guard, offering some room for flexibility as he develops.
LATEST NBA NEWS & TRADE RUMORS: Collin Sexton, Utah Jazz & Dallas Mavericks Updates
One intriguing name to consider is Collin Sexton. He is not closing games with the Utah Jazz and the team appears to be open to moving him, along with just about anybody outside of Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, and Ochai Agbaji.
Whether he does so on the Jazz is a different story. Would the Dallas Mavericks be a more suitable home for Sexton?
