The Dallas Mavericks aren't expected to name the full-time replacement for former general manager Nico Harrison ahead of the 2025-26 trade deadline, according to Christian Clark of The Athletic.

Even after firing GM Nico Harrison and rumors swirling around the availability of star Anthony Davis, the Mavs seem dead set on making the playoffs this season. That potentially means they keep Davis, which means taking their top trade asset off the trade block. Is Harrison still working behind the scenes or something?

The prospects for the Warriors trading for a much desired big man has now included an option from the Dallas Mavericks.

Dallas Receives: Kevin Huerter, three second-round picks (three via Chicago in 2028, 2029, and 2031) Golden State Receives: Daniel Gafford, Ayo Dosunmu Chicago Receives: Jonathan Kuminga, D'Angelo Russell, 2032 second-round pick via GSW

On December 9, ESPN insider Shams Charania reported that the Dallas Mavericks are open to exploring the trade market for multiple core players. League sources told ESPN that Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, and D’Angelo Russell are all being discussed internally.

The Miami Heat have recently been rumored to be the frontrunner to land Giannis Antetokounmpo should the two-time NBA MVP request a trade.
