Los Atlanta Hawks They remain very active in the transfer market before the February 5 deadline and continue to explore options to improve their inner game.
A few days ago there were rumors of his possible interest in Anthony Davisbut the 10-time All-Star power forward’s recent hand injury and the Hawks’ reluctance to include Zaccharie Risacher in the deal stalled the potential deal.
Even so, those from Atlanta did not change the team to which they had directed their attention: the Dallas Mavericks. With AD out of the equation, the Hawks’ interest now seems to have focused on another center from the Texan team: Daniel Gafford, who has already been involved in multiple trade rumors around the league.
According to Marc SteinNBA expert journalist, Atlanta could propose a possible package built around young prospects and expiring contracts of Kristaps Porzingis (who already played for the Mavericks between 1019 and 2022) and Luke Kennard for Gafford.
Stein also added that Atlanta has shown interest in Gafford along with Indiana and Boston, which had previously explored the value of Anfernee Simons facing a possible transfer.
The 27-year-old center signed a contract extension for three years and 54 million dollars last summer. This season, he is averaging 7.9 points and 6.4 rebounds in 28 games, including 19 starts, with Dallas.
