Amid trade buzz surrounding Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma, the Dallas Mavericks are reportedly prioritizing landing power forwards over small forwards, per NBA insider Marc Stein.
According to Stein, Dallas is looking for more size to aid its defensive struggles. Kuzma along with Charlotte Hornets power forward PJ Washington, have emerged as possible trade targets for the Mavericks.
"Dallas has been frequently mentioned as a potential trade suitor for both Washington's Kyle Kuzma and Charlotte's Washington in recent weeks and are still, I'm told, prioritizing power forwards over small forwards in its quest to address the team's size and defensive shortcomings," Stein wrote.
