The Dallas Mavericks suffered a huge blow at the center position when Dwight Powell suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. He is facing a lengthy rehab and may be on the shelf into next season.
There have been rumblings about the Mavericks exploring the trade market for options. They have yet to make a move, though.
Names that have been floating around are Derrick Favors, Andre Drummond, Dewayne Dedmon, and even Joakim Noah. While the Mavs are working the phones, they have a player of their own that could help fill the void.
