Three Trade Rumors the Dallas Mavericks Would Do Well to Avoid

Only two weeks left before the trade deadline and talks are picking up more and more. What are some of the players being talked about that the Dallas Mavericks really need to steer clear of?

The Dallas Mavericks are really interested in making a move to strengthen the team before the upcoming trade deadline. Yogi Ferrell has made his case as a staple in the Mavs rotation, Dirk Nowitzki is our starting center going forward, and Harrison Barnes continues to make opposing 4’s look silly night in and night out.

With this lineup working so well and Dallas winning 5 of their last 7 games, the likelihood of seeing either Deron Williams or Andrew Bogut moved continues to grow. Obviously the Mavs could make a number of moves, choosing to ship either of these guys, underperforming youngsters, or even draft picks if so inclined.

The truth remains, however, that Dallas is ready to strike a deal at the drop of a hat. They are just waiting for the right trade partner.

The key word there is the RIGHT trade partner. Each year some team is so eager to make a move that they throw away decent players in hopes of change. No matter what the case, Dallas cannot be that team this year. Not again.

Here are three trade targets that would do as well for the Dallas Mavericks as Rajon Rondo in a three-point contest. Keep in mind, not all of these players have been rumored as trade targets for Dallas, just those who are reportedly on the trade block.
