With Anthony Davis sidelined because of a hand injury, the belief around the league for weeks has been that the trade deadline will pass without a move. Davis has also made it clear he wants to stay in Dallas. So why is this still coming up? Windhorst: This will largely depend on what Dallas is willing to do with the expected return. In initial talks with teams, the Mavs were looking for a premium, including multiple first-round picks or a prime player, per sources -- textbook stuff when making a star available. There is also the matter of Davis eyeing an extension this summer. There were no takers.
However, Brunson said he merely spoke up after a bad loss to the Mavericks and during the short time before Mike Brown entered the locker room. “It was just me voicing my opinion after the game against Dallas,” Brunson said Tuesday. “It wasn’t me calling a team meeting. We meet after games. I said something before coach walked in. That’s it.”

According to some of those NBA folks, the names that have been attached to the Lakers as potential trade targets are Dallas’ Naji Marshall, a former Doncic teammate, Cleveland’s De’Andre Hunter, Minnesota’s Donte DiVincenzo and Sacramento’s Keon Ellis. New Orleans’ Troy Murphy III and Herbert Jones are two players the Lakers have shown some interest in — as have many other teams — but NBA people say the asking price is so high that teams are waiting to see if that comes down by the deadline next week.
The Warriors arrived from Dallas on Friday morning and spent most of their time at the team hotel, away from thousands of protesters and sub-zero temperatures, before coming out for the game. “You definitely felt the weight of the city, with so many people gathering together,” Moody said. “They had certain chants and everything going on. Couldn’t imagine too many different times where that group or that large of amount of people are together in the midst of a situation like this, so you definitely felt that.”
When it comes to Marshall — who is in Year 2 of a rather attractive three-year, $27 million pact — Dallas is said to be unwilling to listen to any trade approaches that don't feature a future first-round pick.
