The Dallas Mavericks did a wonderful job in the summer transfer window. They managed to put together Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, resulting in their success this season. This team seems to be just a piece away from contention. So unlike other teams, which are still searching for somebody to just get them back on track, the Mavericks are searching for somebody who can put them right alongside the contenders.
OG Anunoby was one of the players the Mavericks were aiming to sign, but the Toronto Raptors sent him away to the New York Knicks in exchange for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley. The Mavericks know what they want from this NBA trade window, and they have been in the hunt for their desired player right from the beginning of the season. Will the transfer market give them what they need before the trade deadline? Here is all the information you need about the Dallas Mavericks and what they plan on doing in the near future.
How are the Dallas Mavericks performing this season?
The Mavericks have played 47 games this season and have managed to win 26 of those. They were in the top five in their conference for most part of the season but have slipped to 7th place lately. Do they need to worry about their playoff hopes?
Just a reminder for trade season: The only first-round pick the Dallas Mavericks can outright move in a midseason trade is their 2027 selection. They still have top 10 protections on their first-round pick owed to the New York Knicks that carry through 2025.

What has gone wrong for the Dallas Mavericks?
The Mavericks have done wonders with their offense, but on the contrary, their defense hasn’t been up to the mark. Dereck Lively II is still a rookie, and he can’t be blamed much. The Mavericks need to find a fix for their problems or things might get nasty in further rounds.
Both Royce O'Neale and Dorian Finney-Smith's potential asking prices are expected to be lower than originally expected.
This could lead the Dallas Mavericks to make a trade for one of them.
