The Dallas Mavericks are looking to add to their frontcourt.

Washington Wizards wing Kyle Kuzma and Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington are two players the Mavericks are interested in acquiring by Thursday's trade deadline, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

The Hornets are interested in Mavericks wing Josh Green, Stein adds.

Kuzma is averaging a career-high 21.8 points along with 6.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Meanwhile, Washington is averaging 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

Both players penned long-term deals this past offseason.

Dallas has a 2026 first-round pick to include in a trade as well as two second-round selections in this year's draft.

Another forward reportedly in the trade market is Golden State Warriors wing Andrew Wiggins, but the Mavericks are not pursuing the 28-year-old, Stein reports.

The Mavericks are 28-23 and eighth in the Western Conference. They've rotated through a variety of forwards in the starting lineup this season, including Green, Derrick Jones Jr., and Grant Williams.
