Dallas is sending Charlotte a lightly-protected 2027 first-round pick in the deal, per the same report.

Washington, 25, has been with the Hornets since the beginning of his professional career.

The Hornets selected him in the first round of the 2019 NBA draft as the 12th overall pick, and he earned a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2020.

On January 27, 2024, Washington tied his career-high with 43 points in a game against the Utah Jazz. In the current season, he has maintained averages of 13.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists over 44 games.

Meanwhile, Williams, who joined the Mavs from the Boston Celtics before this season, has contributed 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 47 appearances for Dallas.

Curry, on the other hand, is leaving Texas after a deal on July 14, 2023, when he signed with the Mavericks for the third time in his career. Curry has posted 4.3 points in 36 contests this season.
