REPORT: The Dallas Mavericks DID NOT want to trade for Nikola Jovic in a Klay Thompson deal, per @BannedMacMahon


Windy: They did the Giannis deal and the Bucks pretty much had their pick of anybody on the roster not named Bam and he (Jovic) wasn’t in the deal

Tim: The Mavericks didn’t want to trade Klay for him. The contract is not looking good now but again, he’s 23 years old

Yeah, no joke.  He should have never been an option for Dallas.  Dallas is filled with the PF postion and used resources for more PF/wings this offseason.  Jovic does not play a ton of games, had a bad year last year and has a big contract.    

He is still young and could rebound but it never made sense for Dallas to add a player like him to their current roster.
