The Dallas Mavericks had interest in Pascal Siakam ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline, but he is now off the board after being traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
Now, the Mavs will have to look elsewhere to find their upgrade at the starting power forward position, and Portland Trail Blazers’ Jerami Grant could be their answer.
According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Mavs have “kept tabs” on Grant, although other reports say the Trail Blazers have yet to show any willingness to part with him so far.
“The Mavericks have kept tabs on Jerami Grant in Portland, league sources told HoopsHype. Perhaps Kyle Kuzma could be added to this list in the coming weeks,” Scotto wrote.
“Rival executives point to some combination of Josh Green, Jaden Hardy, Grant Williams, and draft compensation as Dallas’ best chance of making a trade for a frontcourt upgrade.”
