NBA Trade News: Dallas Mavericks To Acquire DeMarcus Cousins And Nikola Vucevic [VIDEO]
As the NBA season for 2016-17 is approaching to its end soon, there are lots of trade rumors coming out to be associated with it. The latest speculation is that DeMarcus Cousins And Nikola Vucevic will be joining soon to Dallas Mavericks.
Although team Mav's performance in this 2016-17 NBA series has not been that much better. Experts are claiming that this is an approach taken by the club to make it better for the next session.
According to iTech Post, the Mavs are obviously falling far behind the standings in the Western Conference in this season as the team is currently in the 15th position with 2 wins, 11 losses record. And with this current status, it is not possible for the team to stand at the top position on this year's roster anyway.
So, to prepare for a better position next year Mav will desperately try out its luck to negotiate with the NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, who is also said to be kicked off from his team soon. Rumors suggest that the Mavs can take Cousins and another star Darren Collison all together in an exchange of Deron Williams, Mike Scott, Justin Anderson and a first round pick for 2017.
The Kings will also have to crack a good deal to get another first round pick from Atlanta so that they can let go of Cousins. Atlanta, on the other hand, will take Devin Harris, Dwight Powell, and a second round pick while the 76ers get Tiago Splitter. It will indeed be a huge let go for the Mavs, but with Cousins in, it might just be worth the shot.
Another player highly speculated to come on the Mavs roster is Magic's Nikola Vucevic. The latter acquiring Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo is said to be a major reason for Vucevic's poor performance this season. The 26-year-old center is believed to be either be demoted or traded by Magic, The rumor of trade seems more accountable. And he is thought to be acquired by the Mavs only.
