2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[F Gump]

Does Dallas have a 2nd round pick? If not, can they buy in ?

They lack roster space already. They have 14 under contract, with MLE guy filling 15.

Then they are supposedly adding Kai (16) and it's possible Exum (17) and the regular veteran enforcer/tone-setter 15th man (James Johnson, Boban, Markieff) is part of their thinking too (18). They liked Edwards (19).

Obviously they won't do all of those, but I can't imagine there's a SRP player to pick who they'd prefer over most of those other uses. (It's possible all the players they considered are already gone, too.)

The only way I'd see them wanting a SRP would be
1 it's available via cash or is the return via a trade away of some of their debris,
2 the player is open to taking a two-way deal and committed to work in GL on skills, and
3 the player is athletic needing better skills, rather than one in 2nd who has skills but lacks athleticism/size (because extra work doesn't make you taller etc).
