P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford are prime trade candidates for the Mavs and would fill positions of need for the Suns. For salary purposes, Dallas would also likely have to include Klay Thompson and another piece for Durant, as well as future draft picks to entice Phoenix.

The draft lottery delivered a true stunner, with the Dallas Mavericks improbably cashing their 1.8 percent chance to land the No. 1 pick. Even before that improbable ping-pong ball bounce, the rumor mill was in a frenzy with trade talks surrounding a two-time MVP (who's very much still in his prime).

It was a surprise to most fans of the association that the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Draft Lottery. While many were taken aback by the outcome, a lot of players were disheartened. Texas Longhorns legend and Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant was among this group of people.
