Recent trade rumors suggest that the Dallas Mavericks may be looking to take advantage of “buy low” opportunities to acquire forwards from the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.
One key player linked to Dallas is Patrick Williams from the Bulls. Despite signing a five-year, $90 million contract earlier this year, Williams has reportedly been made available for trade. His current shooting struggles, including a drop in three-point accuracy compared to nearly 40% last season, might have reduced his trade value. This could make him an appealing, cost-effective option for the Mavericks.
Additionally, the Mavericks are said to have interest in Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt. His trade value has been affected by his long-term contract and recent injury history, potentially making him more attainable for Dallas.
Both players fit the Mavericks’ goal of bolstering their roster with versatile forwards capable of contributing on both ends of the court.
