RJ Hampton of the Orlando Magic, who would be traded to the Dallas Mavericks in this proposed deal.
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Dallas Mavericks, but a big win on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Lakers was a highlight. Luka Doncic and Christian Wood both put up impressive numbers in their win over LeBron James.
But one win doesn’t mean that they’re ready to make a run to the Western Conference Finals again. They could still benefit from exploring some deals at the trade deadline. One deal suggested by Dan Favale of Bleacher Report would see Dallas complete a trade with the Orlando Magic.
Here’s the full outline of the proposed trade:
Mavericks receive: RJ Hampton
Magic receive: Frank Ntilikina, 2025 2nd-Round Pick (Top-44 Protected)

Orlando didn’t give Hampton an extension, meaning he’ll be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He’s appeared in 22 of the team’s 34 games this year and is playing 15.1 minutes per contest. The 21-year-old guard is averaging 6.
