2: Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks are known for going after former Knicks players, so why wouldn’t Mark Cuban be interested in Immanuel Quickley? Not to mention, Dallas let Jalen Brunson go for nothing over the offseason, and IQ would give the Mavericks valuable depth at guard. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Mavericks are one of the teams that have reached out to the Knicks about the guard.

Luka Doncic’s backup is 31-year-old Facundo Campazzo, who is averaging 1.5 points in four games. He isn’t a suitable playmaker option for a Dallas team that needs just that, but Quickley would be. IQ’s defense would be a bonus for an already strong defensive team.

Quickley isn’t the second star that the Mavericks are after to pair with Luka, but trading for IQ would help to take some of the pressure off Doncic’s shoulders. Quickley’s been in a shooting slump to start the year for the Knicks, which is what happened in 2021-22. If he can become a consistent shooter, IQ could be a key piece in Dallas for years to come.
