The Dallas Mavericks have plenty of questions to sort out ahead of the trade deadline, especially at 12-22. While discussion over a potential Anthony Davis trade will dominate most fan gossip between now and the trade deadline, players on the fringes of Dallas' rotation, such as Jaden Hardy, have also been discussed amongst Mavericks fans as someone they want to see traded.
Being in the first year of a three-year $18 million contract, Hardy hasn't played himself into the deal he inked with Dallas ahead of the start of the 2024-25 season, as his efficiency as a driver and spot-up shooter hasn't increased much at all since his rookie season.
