US EditionAnthony Davis trade rumors: Mark Cuban insists Mavericks won't move star center
- This year, the Dallas Mavericks are reportedly preparing to shop Anthony Davis before the trade deadline, per Tim MacMahon, ESPN; Davis is out with a calf injury and Kyrie Irving remains months away after a torn ACL last year.
- The Mavericks' front office, reshuffled after last season's Luka Dončić trade, is driving roster change as strategists weigh moving veterans to build around Cooper Flagg.
- A glut of frontcourt players and tight cap space means specific role players could be offered in trades, including Daniel Gafford and Naji Marshall , while Dallas Mavericks payroll sits $1.5 million below threshold under the second apron hard cap.
- League interest is high, but practical landing spots look limited as the Boston Celtics, constrained by repeater tax, reportedly have no interest in taking on additional salary.
- PJ Washington cannot be moved this year, which reduces Dallas's available pieces, and none of the realistic trade targets are game-changing, complicating roster upgrades, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
