Dereck Lively II said he focused a lot on “owning the paint” over the summer. “It’s been a lot of focusing on the details this summer.”

Dereck Lively on taking open three-pointers: "Of course, I'm going to take the threes that come to me."

Does he feel he has a green light to shoot from Jason Kidd?: "It's not so much a green light, it's about feeling how the game is going."

Jason Kidd says it'll be a "committee" regarding who will defend quicker guards after losing Derrick Jones Jr.

He says there will be times when Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, and Klay Thompson "will have to guard," but emphasized the unit is "here to help each other."

Jason Kidd said Jaden Hardy is going to “get his opportunity” this season and has been “patiently waiting.”

Jason Kidd, asked who in the Mavs’ starting lineup will get the toughest defensive assignment: “Luka. Why not?”

Kidd says it will be “a committee,” but he adds “in all seriousness, there will be nights that Luka has to guard somebody.”

One of my favorite Klay Thompson moments with us today when talking about Luka

"He's nutmegged me before. It was embarrassing. I was like, how did he. He nutmeg me and then Gafford just dunked on our center, so I felt responsible for it."

Olivier-Maxence Prosper “absolutely” expects a bigger role this season.

Says that he is focused on defense and being a disrupter, but also wants to be a good compliment to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on the offensive end.

Luka Doncic says he ‘expected’ the Dallas Mavericks training camp to be in Las Vegas because of the new ownership.

Doncic adds that he’s excited to return to Vegas after only being there shortly for NBA Summer League before his rookie season.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving clearly enjoy being back together

@noahweber00

Kyrie Irving gives an update on his hand injury:

Says it is doing much better, and it was a needed break as he was quickly back to work after the NBA Finals ended.

@sixfivelando

I asked Luka Dončić about training camp in Las Vegas and how that trip can help the team with new players, like last year in Abu Dhabi and Madrid.

He said being outside of Dallas where the team can’t go to their homes and just be together is a big part of chemistry.

What a bright and confident man at this young age.

Has Lively grown to 9 feet?  
Kidd basically confirmed that D-Live will start, so that’s our probable starting five!
