The Mavericks took a big swing by adding Kyrie Irving at the trade deadline, but it cost Dallas its defense. Now the Mavericks need to rebuild it if it plans to win with Doncic and Irving this season, and the No. 10 pick is their best asset.
Dallas has been linked to Atlanta in a trade down involving the No. 10 pick and Atlanta's No. 15 slot, but Dallas reportedly wants Clint Capela in that deal, not John Collins as Atlanta would prefer. The No. 10 pick probably isn't enough to get into the Anunoby sweepstakes, but that's a call Dallas should probably make. Any defensive-minded veteran on the market is a possible Mavericks candidate. Dallas can't afford to wait for a rookie to develop. It's now or never.

There are actually teams facing way more urgency, the blazers, the lakers off the top of my head. This now or never narrative is so tired. It was ?win now? last season, anddd they finished 11th.
Whether org wants to admit it or not, they?re rebuilding. This team is not one piece away, they are three pieces away (Kyrie isn?t signed yet).
Cuban will never get into the new second apron so the idea that FO will go after free agents with massive contracts is hilarious. We?ll be right back to playing Luka 42 mpg burning him out further.
