The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in trading for Miles Bridges, aiming to upgrade their power forward position before the midseason deadline.
Grant Williams’ fall from favor due to positional size concerns, so the team actively seeks options. Bridges, a popular trade target, has attracted interest from various NBA teams, including the Mavericks, Sacramento Kings, and Detroit Pistons. A trade for Bridges requires a commitment to his long-term future, given his current one-year, $7.9 million contract. On the court, Bridges excels in transition plays but needs improvement in defensive responsibilities.The Mavericks, a trade hub for power forwards, were linked to Pascal Siakam before his trade to the Indiana Pacers, with other available options including Kyle Kuzma, Jerami Grant, and Dorian Finney-Smith.The team aims to reinforce the supporting cast around Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and Dereck Lively II through reasonable measures, including adding more size on the wing.
