Mavericks Make Splash Before Deadline

The Mavericks have been active in the trade market ahead of Thursday's deadline, also acquiring center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards. The addition of Washington gives Dallas a much-needed boost in the frontcourt.

Washington Expected to Make Impact

Washington, 24, is a versatile forward who can play both power forward and center. He has averaged 11.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season while shooting 53.9% from the field.

Hornets Acquire Draft Assets

The Hornets, meanwhile, have acquired a young player in Williams, a veteran in Curry, and a first-round pick. Williams, 24, has played a limited role for the Celtics this season, while Curry, 33, is a reliable three-point shooter.
