The Dallas Mavericks have been in NBA trade rumors over recent weeks. They allegedly have interest in adding a third superstar to the team but could go in the complete opposite direction in a deal like this. The New Orleans Pelicans are a team that could be an intriguing trade partner for Dallas.
The Mavericks have a dynamic duo hand Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. After clinching a playoff berth last season, the thought was that Dallas will look for another big-name player in hopes of becoming a staple in the postseason.
Kristaps Porzingis has struggled with staying on the floor during his time in Dallas. This has sparked some NBA trade rumors about the Mavericks potentially sending away their big man in a deal. The return would be large for a player like Porzingis and could benefit Dallas in the long run.
As for the Pelicans, there are two ways they could go. They showed an interest in getting younger in the offseason when they sent Jrue Holiday to the Milwaukee Bucks. The team could either decide to rebuild from the bottom up or make a big-splash trade to add another star. Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are the future in New Orleans and could be looking for another piece to the big three.
New Orleans has had some other players surface in rumors in recent weeks. Let’s take a look and see what the deal between these two sides might look like.
