Teams checked in on Mavericks front Dorian Finney-Smith, although it is uncertain whether it is available, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News tweets. His recent raise in game, in addition to his very affordable contract ($ 4 million this season and the next), has increased interest in him. Finney-Smith would probably have to be included in any business involving Aaron Gordon, Norman Powell or John Collins, as Jalen Brunson and draft choices. However, Dallas cannot offer a first round before 2025, which makes it difficult to make a big move, adds Towsend (Twitter link)

It is assumed that there will be some safeguards in these choices. Evan Fournier he could also go to Boston in a separate business. The Celtics would send a player – Magic prefers Marcus Smart – the two choices and their $ 28.5 million traded player exception in these transactions.
