The NBA Finals may have just ended, but free agency and the draft are just around the corner. What moves could the Mavericks make?
The Dallas Mavericks' season came to a close on Monday with a loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. There is no time to sit back and think about what went wrong or what could've gone differently, as teams can already start negotiating with their upcoming free agents, the draft is a week away, and teams can officially start meeting with free agents on June 30th, less than two weeks away.
Dallas' other free agents include Markieff Morris, Greg Brown III, and Brandon Williams. Morris could return on a veteran minimum contract later in the cycle, he was valuable to the team as a veteran leader in the locker room. The rest depends on what the Mavs can do in free agency and the draft. Part of the answer was supposed to be Tim Hardaway Jr., but after shooting 36.8% from three from the start of the season to the trade deadline, he shot just 31.5% from deep for the remainder of the regular season and 35.1% in the playoffs . We'll expand on him more later, but the Mavericks needed more than this.
The Mavericks have also brought in NC State's DJ Horne, Auburn's Jaylin Williams, Missouri's Sean East, and Pittsburgh's Blake Hinson for pre-draft workouts. There have been more workouts but the Mavericks do not report who they bring in, so these are all player/agent announced.Trade Candidates It's more likely they trade Hardaway Jr. separately to free up space to re-sign Derrick Jones Jr., and then use Kleber and the two trade exceptions on somebody else, if necessary. Dwight Powell could also be used as a salary filler with his $4 million contract.
