Mavericks lock in PJ Washington on extension

Reporter Jovan Buha says he would happily take a Lakers trade sending Dalton Knecht and Jarred Vanderbilt, or Knecht plus three second-round picks, to Dallas for PJ Washington or Daniel Gafford.

Marc Stein reports rival teams believe Dallas could eventually move P.J. Washington given its forward depth, even though Washington says Masai Ujiri assured him he isn't being shopped.

A trade proposal from Basketnews.com would send PJ Washington from Dallas to the Lakers for Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt and a 2032 second-round pick originally acquired from Washington in the Deandre Ayton deal.
