It’s “by no means automatic” that the Mavs will trade Anthony Davis before the NBA trade deadline, per @TheSteinLine
“Yet sources with knowledge of Dallas' thinking insist that it will not just trade him in-season for the sake of it if the offers received are deemed to be subpar in the wake of Davis' injury woe since the 32-year-old became a Maverick… It is believed that Dumont — knowing the trade can't be undone and more than cognizant of its damaging aftermath given what's transpired in Dallas over the past 10 months — wants to see more from Davis for evaluation purposes rather than rush into another deal that compounds mistakes already made.”
