Dallas Mavericks fans shouldn't expect Kevin Durant to join Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving in North Texas ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET NBA trade

NBA trade deadline is shaping up to be one of the best - and busiest - in recent memory. In one of the most surprising moves in basketball history, the Mavericks traded star Luka Doncic to the Lakers in a trade package that saw Anthony Davis head to Dallas.

"League sources say the Dallas Mavericks, fresh off their Luka Dončić-for-Anthony Davis swap that sent shockwaves through the Association, have dreams of adding Durant to their Davis-Kyrie Irving-led group," per the report by Sam Amick, David Aldridge and Anthony Slater.
