Via the report, Mavs owner Mark Cuban marveled at the post-Irving-trade roster's potential to dominate scoring, increase speed and continue developing around Luka Doncic as another postseason approaches.

Wood, Doncic's pick-and-roll partner, averages 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists over 44 games this season.

For his part, Hardaway Jr. registers 13.9 points, 3.5 boards, and 1.7 dimes in 52 matches.

It was previously reported that Dallas also looks to move JaVale McGee.

The team acquired Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris in a blockbuster trade that also saw Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2027 second-round pick, a 2029 first-round pick (unprotected), and a 2029 second-round pick going to the Brooklyn Nets.
