MAVS NEWS:

[Tyler]

Another 6’4” shoot first SG buried behind THJ, Hardy and Curry?  Make no sense unless something else is happening.  Now, if there is a THJ for Anderson deal, Minny would need to add a small salary to make the math work.  Maybe the Nowell ‘interest’ is nothing more than that?

The relevant part of the quote for me: 

"But here’s a new team in on Jaylen Nowell: the Dallas Mavericks. They need to create some roster flexibility, they are looking into doing some stuff is the word and it may not come to fruition. But Jaylen Nowell is on Dallas’ radar."

I interpret that as implying that Dallas is interested in Nowell only assuming that they first complete a trade (which may not happen) that creates more roster flexibility. The obvious trade that would fit the description is the rumored THJ+McGee for Capela swap (as part of the Siakam deal) that has tons of smoke.
