The NBA trade deadline is just over 50 days away, and the Dallas Mavericks' plans are already clear. They will listen to trade offers for players like Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, Daniel Gafford, and Klay Thompson, but they want to be competitive for the rest of the year.
Conversely, they don't want to trade Kyrie Irving and view him as a long-term building block next to Cooper Flagg. Irving has been incredible in Dallas on and off the court over the last two and a half years, and they don't want him going anywhere.
