NBA Rumors: Dallas Mavericks Linked To Out Of Favour Big Man

 

The Dallas Mavericks were perhaps the most disappointing team in the NBA this past season, failing to make the playoffs despite having Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving leading the way, and now, they've got a crucial off-season coming up.

While they will have a big decision regarding Irving, the team will need to add some other weapons, and now, they have become a 'likely' landing spot for Phoenix Suns big man and former No. 1 overall draft pick, DeAndre Ayton.

NBA sources believes the Dallas Mavericks are a ‘likely’ landing spot for Deandre Ayton, per @EricPincus

With the Suns needing depth and Dallas desperate for another weapon, this is a move that makes sense, and could put Ayton in a position to succeed, something the Suns rarely did with all the attention on Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Devin Booker, so we will see if this trade does indeed play out in the coming weeks.
