Report: Mavericks Pursuing Trade to Land One Specific Player
The Dallas Mavericks agreed to re-sign Dante Exum last month, but in order to officially finish this decision, the Mavericks will have to make a job elsewhere.
The initiate of the NBA, Marc Stein, revealed that Dallas was doing exactly that, indicating that the MAVs are trying to exchange Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Prosper was initially selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 24th choice in total of the NBA 2023 draft, but was exchanged in the Mavericks a few weeks later.
The Marquette product played a little sparingly in Dallas during its first two seasons. He appeared in 40 games during his recruit campaign, with an average of three points and two rebounds over 8.4 minutes per night on 38.5% shots.
Then, last year, Prosper participated in 52 competitions and made four departures, displaying 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds over 11.2 minutes per match on 40.2 / 23.5 / 64.5 shooting.

Meanwhile, Exum has spent the last two years in Dallas. The injuries limited him to only 20 games in 2024-25, and during his stay on the ground, he recorded 8.7 points and 2.8 assists at 18.6 minutes per match. He pulled an impressive 47.8% compared to the ground and 43.4% from the three -point beach.
The 30 -year -old has certainly not been up to expectations from the origin of Utah Jazz with the n ° 3 choice of the 2014 NBA draft, but he was able to carve a solid niche as an actor. When it was healthy, it is.
Exum fought against injury problems throughout the vast majority of his professional career, which also included a stop abroad for two years in 2021-22 and 2022-23.

He managed to play in 55 games in his first campaign with the Mavericks in 2023-24, recording 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds per night, but it was always difficult to depend on the Australian origin due to his sustainability problems.
But clearly, Dallas has loved what he has seen from Exum since he was on the ground in the past two years.
