NBA rumors reveal Mavericks’ stance on P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford as trade talks continue ahead of the offseason.

The Dallas Mavericks got a much-needed shot in the arm to kick off the offseason, landing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. As things stand, the Mavericks are slated to select former Duke star Cooper Flagg at the top of the draft, adding a potential diamond to a roster that already includes Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.

The move is a strong indication that Kidd will remain in Dallas after reports indicated the Knicks had interest in the Mavs’ head coach.

The Dallas Mavericks won't want to include PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford in any trade talks, predicts NBA insider Marc Stein.
