One month. That’s all it took for everything to change. Luka Doncic, once the heart of Dallas, is now just a memory. Fans, once loyal, now cheer against the Mavericks. And Nico Harrison? He’s learning the hard way—no move goes unpunished. In just four weeks, chaos took over. Yet, somehow, it feels like it’s only the beginning. But wait, a new story or rather never-heard-before information about the trade season is going around in the NBA scene, And it certainly doesn’t look like Anthony Davis’ name popped into Harrison’s mind until much later.

There had been some talks that Luka Doncic’s former GM, Nico Harrison had casually discussed a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. They had one request: Give Anthony Edwards in exchange for the Slovenian superstar. As you can guess, the idea fell flat. So, the GM turned his head towards Miami. Any idea whom he was eyeing this time?

Of course! Jimmy Butler. Before Dallas traded Luka in a blockbuster deal to acquire AD and Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick from the Los Angeles Lakers, the team also expressed interest in Jimmy Butler, league sources told HoopsHype.

Well, the Warriors #10 wasn’t the only one the Mavs wanted, they also had a keen eye on the ex-Lakers star Kyle Kuzma. But, in exchange for Jimmy, Harrison was willing to pack Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington. Unfortunately, the Mavericks’ front office’s explanatory discussion didn’t go too far. Moreover, the Miami Heat were looking for starting-caliber players on short-term deals for the team.

This is a developing story…
