With the NBA trade deadline having come and gone, the Dallas Mavericks apparently are pretty happy with how theirs went.

Dallas has won four straight games since the Feb. 8 deadline (six straight dating back to Feb. 5), as they ride hot heading into the All-Star break.

But moves apparently needed to be made, including the one involving forward Grant Williams.

The Mavs sent Williams to the Charlotte Hornets just prior to the deadline, and there seems to be a lot of reasoning behind it.

Williams apparently was "yapping" and not in good shape, leading Dallas to be frustrated with him.
