If Utah wants a FRP for Clarkson, Mavs aren't going to do that.  We could offer three SRPs.  Did you know that we only have three SRPs through 2029?

Unlike Green's first year, Hardy has shown the ability to move and score quickly... so giving him minutes in a real game may be the only way to go. He may be one of those players that you have to hold back a little and make sure he doesn't force shots. 

I could see him going either way, but he looks and acts like a player who actually expects to be in an NBA starting lineup in a year or two.

Roster trimmed: The Mavericks waived four of their training-camp invitees after Wednesday’s practice.

Not among them was 6-foot guard McKinley Wright IV.

He has earned the 15th and final roster spot based on his play in preseason and through training camp.

Waived on Wednesday were Marcus Bingham Jr., Mouhamadou Gueye, Tyler Hall and D.J. Stewart Jr.

With the addition of Wright, the Mavericks now have 15 players under contract and two-way player Tyler Dorsey.




Briefly: Kidd said newcomers Jaden Hardy and Christian Wood were the stars of the scrimmage, but added: “I thought the energy and effort were good. Some late-game stuff. We played three full quarters and everybody did a good job.” . . . 

Asked what the emphasis has been since the last preseason game and before the exhibition finale Friday at Utah, Kidd said: “Defense is always first that we talk about, and last. We have guys who can score, but being able to have everybody on the same page defensively is what we’re working at. And I think the guys are getting it done.” . . . Kidd said that everybody will travel to Utah on Thursday and that “We’ll go with our rotation and just see how that works, come back Sunday and practice. 

On the flight home, we’ll talk about the rotation. But we have 82 games to look at different combinations.”

So either an official Mavs news source is just blatantly posting fake news or he knows something we don't.
