Tim Hardaway Jr. of Mavericks likely to be traded, which teams are favorites?

The Dallas Mavericks reportedly want Tim Hardaway Jr. move this season after falling out of the rotation in the postseason. Losing to the Boston Celtics in five games in the NBA Finals, Dallas is looking to upgrade their roster in any way they can, and that likely starts with flipping the final year of Hardaway’s $16 million-plus contract.

Bovada Sportsbook has released betting odds on which teams are most likely to land the veteran marksman, with a few surprise teams at the top.

The Washington Wizards are currently the favorites to land Hardaway Jr., listed at +225, followed closely by the Atlanta Hawks at +240 and the Detroit Pistons at +325. Those three teams seem to be the most rumored, as Washington’s Landry Shamet and Atlanta’s Bogdan Bogdanovic have been mentioned as trade targets for the Mavericks, while Detroit had a ton of cap space for Dallas to send Hardaway to.

The other teams on Bovada are the Los Angeles Lakers (+700), Brooklyn Nets (+700), Portland Trail Blazers (+700) and the Milwaukee Bucks. Brooklyn’s Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith and Portland’s Matisse Thybulle and Jerami Grant have also been mentioned as possible trade targets for Dallas. The Lakers and Bucks are the big surprise teams there, as they don’t have any targets mentioned with the Mavericks so far.

It seems likely that Hardaway will be dealt with over the next two weeks, with the NBA Draft starting Wednesday and free agency beginning shortly after. The Mavericks need to free up some cap space to ensure they can re-sign Derrick Jones Jr., who has been their best offensive defenseman this season. They also need to add some reliable shooters, something Hardaway couldn’t provide at the end of the season.
