Every important NBA trade deadline rumor involving the Mavericks

The NBA's trade deadline is nearing on February 23rd. The Mavericks aren’t likely to be “big” movers and shakers, but they do have a few assets this year and a couple guys they’d probably like to move. Mark Cuban has said recently that the team isn’t really trying hard to be competitive, so don’t look for anything earth shattering: As we’ve noted ad nauseum, the only real likely moves for the Mavs involve finding new homes for Andrew Bogut and possibly Deron Williams.
