The Dallas Mavericks are rumored to be interested in trading for Collin Sexton, a guard for the Utah Jazz, to bolster their backcourt with Kyrie Irving sidelined due to an ACL injury. Sexton, 26, has been a bright spot for the Jazz, averaging 18.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season. His expiring contract worth $18.7 million for the 2025-26 season could make him an attractive target for teams looking to add scoring punch without long-term financial commitments.
A potential three-team trade proposal involves the Atlanta Hawks, Mavericks, and Jazz, with the Hawks receiving P.J. Washington and a first-round pick, the Mavericks getting Collin Sexton, and the Jazz acquiring Caleb Martin, Jaden Hardy, and a 2025 first-round pick (No. 22 overall). This trade would help the Mavericks address their guard issue, while the Jazz would get an extra first-round pick and a young guard in Hardy.
Sexton’s skills make him a good fit for the Mavericks, as he can start alongside Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis, providing a potent offense. His fearless mentality, scoring ability, and tenacity would be valuable assets for the team. However, the salary-matching issue would be a challenge, and the Mavericks might need to include players like Daniel Gafford and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the trade
