The Dallas Mavericks won't pursue a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies for veteran swingman Andre Iguodala ahead of February's trade deadline, the New York Times' Marc Stein reports.

Dallas' interest in Iguodala dates back to this past summer, according to Stein, who adds the club is apparently carefully considering its trade targets after getting off to a strong 18-9 start.

The former Finals MVP reached an agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies in September that allowed him to sit out training camp and continue private workouts while the team sought out a trade partner. Iguodala hasn't appeared in a game this season.

Memphis remains convinced it can find a team willing to take on Iguodala's $17.2-million salary via trade, Stein notes.

The Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Clippers have all held discussions with the Grizzlies involving Iguodala, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.

Memphis acquired Iguodala and a protected first-round pick from the Golden State Warriors last offseason in exchange for forward Julian Washburn.
