Mavericks Weigh Trades and a Coaching Hire Ahead of the Draft
The Dallas Mavericks are pushing on three fronts at once, exploring trades, preparing for picks Nos. 9 and 30 in the upcoming NBA draft, and working toward a new head-coaching hire, NBA insider Marc Stein reports. The coaching search matters most for fantasy, since whoever new president Masai Ujiri hires will set the rotation around Cooper Flagg, last season's No. 1 overall pick and the franchise's building block. Dallas parted with Jason Kidd in May and has interviewed a mix of veteran and first-time candidates, hoping to land a coach before Tuesday's draft. The trade talks and two first-rounders add more uncertainty to the roster, while Kyrie Irving continues rehabbing from an ACL injury and clouds the backcourt timeline. Until the staff and roster settle, Flagg's role is the clearest long-term fantasy bet in Dallas, with everyone else's value more dependent on how the offseason shakes out.
