Are the Mavericks unhappy with their home sector? It is quite possible since the Texas franchise is the worst in the league in terms of rebound in particular, despite the presence of JaVale McGee, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber, not to mention Christian Wood, under its panels.
What could confirm this are the rumors of a possible transfer of Nerlens Noel. According to SNYthe leaders of the Pistons and the Mavericks discussed and the name of the pivot arrived on the table.
Until now, he has not played in Detroit, which prefers to bet on its young people (Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren, Marvin Bagley III), and he knows Dallas well, having made a stint there in 2017 and 2018.
It was the Texans who had offered him a contract of 70 million dollars over four years, finally refused on the advice of his agent Rich Paul. The two men then entered into a legal battle, because Nerlens Noel then believed that he had been badly advised, when he never found such an offer afterwards.
The latter had been invaluable in New York in 2020/21, with his defense, but last offseason he was sacrificed and sent to Detroit, so the Knicks had enough dollars in stock to sign Jalen Brunson.
