Olivier-Maxence Prosper was once a star at Marquette, but in two seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, he hasn’t received the opportunities needed to reach his professional potential. According to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, both Prosper and 2022 second-rounder Jaden Hardy could be at risk of being traded or waived by the end of this week. Should these efforts materialize, the Brooklyn Nets should absolutely be involved. First of all, if it’s known that the Mavericks will possibly waive a player if they can’t find a trade partner, they immediately lose all leverage, which would greatly benefit Brooklyn in hypothetical situations.
