Dallas Mavericks
Team Summary
The youth pivot is complete: bought out Klay Thompson (~$13.6M dead cap) to clear the runway, after moving Khris Middleton to Washington in the six-team sign-and-trade and landing 2024 No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher in the Dort three-team deal. Dallas rosters three former No. 1 overall picks — Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving and Risacher — with Naji Marshall locked in on a fully guaranteed 3yr/$52.2M extension as the defensive tone-setter. Brandon Williams walked to Golden State. Frontcourt depth (Gafford, Lively, Washington, Aldama) remains a strength; Flagg and Risacher's development decides how dangerous this gets, how fast.
