Dallas Mavericks rumors: Mavs have discussed adding Patrick Beverley

The Dallas Mavericks continue forming their free agency plans including the potential of adding Patrick Beverley according to Marc Stein.

Dallas Mavericks supporters are excited about the offseason ahead. Part of that feeling is the unknown of free agency. The Mavs have cap space and the desire to improve, but there are no guarantees in landing a top target. That is what makes the offseason interesting.

The Mavericks will be one of the most active teams this summer. They will be asking all the top free agents for a meeting and a chance to pitch coming to Dallas. Some will reject them immediately, and others will be more willing to listen.

The Mavs may strike out on all the All-Star level talents too. The front office will have a backup plan. It likely involves adding multiple rotation pieces on shorter-term deals in an effort to improve now and maintain long-term flexibility.

One of the Dallas Mavericks free agent targets could be Patrick Beverley. The point guard is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. Here is the latest of the Mavs interest.

Dallas considering Pat Bev

Marc Stein joined the Ben and Skin show on 105.3 The Fan on May 2 to discuss the free agent happenings around the Mavericks. Supporters can listen to Stein’s full interview here.

Stein reports that the Mavs had “internal discussions” about Patrick Beverley. He also notes that Beverley’s performance in the opening round of the playoffs has every team chatting about the merits of adding him.

Beverley’s standout perimeter defense coupled with the fact that he doesn’t need to handle the ball fits perfectly in Dallas. Luka Doncic can run the offense. Beverley would defend the opposition’s best guard and be a spot-up shooter on the offensive end.

Stay tuned for the latest on the Mavericks interest in Beverley in the coming weeks.

Final thoughts

The Dallas Mavericks have cap space to improve their roster this summer, and Patrick Beverley is among the free agents being discussed by the front office. The Mavs should be in no rush to make their decision. Free agency does not open until July 1. Expect them to take their time and build the perfect plan.

The playoffs are in full swing, but Mavericks fans are gearing up for the offseason as well. The Smoking Cuban will have everything fans need to know, so please return to the site often.
