DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - With the NBA Trade Deadline just hours away, teams around the league are scrambling to put together deals to fortify their rosters head of the second half of the season.
Among those teams are the Dallas Mavericks, who are hunting for ways to improve their back court depth, among other roster improvements.
On Thursday, the Mavs may have just gotten closer to getting one of their top targets, in Raptors guard and Luka Doncic mentor, Goran Dragic.
