The Dallas Mavericks are nearing the first salary cap apron for the 2024-25 season, which will complicate their efforts to make moves as Nico Harrison and the front office look to bolster the team.
With star guards Luka Dončić (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) sidelined, the Mavs find themselves in a tough spot as the trade deadline approaches. Although they lack substantial assets for a major trade, Harrison has proven himself adept at maneuvering in the past, such as when he acquired PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford last season despite limited resources.
As the February 6 trade deadline draws near, the Mavs will face important decisions on how to navigate their cap situation while trying to stay competitive in the Western Conference playoff race. Among the trade candidates are Quentin Grimes, Maxi Kleber, Daniel Gafford, Jaden Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, each with varying levels of trade value.
