The 2025-26 NBA season continues to be a struggle for the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs sit at just 9-16 through 25 games of action on the campaign, and now they'll be without a key contributor for the rest of the season.

Friday night, the Dallas Mavericks (9-16) are back home after losing to the OKC Thunder to take on the Brooklyn Nets (6-17).

On December 9, ESPN insider Shams Charania reported that the Dallas Mavericks are open to exploring the trade market for multiple core players. League sources told ESPN that Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, and D’Angelo Russell are all being discussed internally.

The Dallas Mavericks put their three-game winning streak to the ultimate test on Friday night as they faced the OKC Thunder on the road. The Thunder have easily been the NBA's best team this year, and they've been obliterating teams this year.

The Golden State Warriors could use all the help they can get right now. While the seven-time NBA champions have won their last two games to improve to 13-12 on the year, their ceiling is low and will remain so unless they commit to being active in the trade market.
