Dallas Mavericks rumors: The Mavs are targeting “mid-tier” free agents
By Tyler Watts
Dallas Mavericks fans were hoping to land an All-Star in free agency to complete a big three, but they are rumored to be targeting multiple pieces instead.
Dallas Mavericks supporters are gearing up for what could be a wild couple of weeks ahead. Free agency kicks on June 30. Fans know the Mavs have cap space, and they plan to use it.
Dallas will also be sending a team of young talents to the Las Vegas Summer League. That could distract from the franchise-altering moves taking place in free agency. 2019 draft pick Isaiah Roby leads the Mavericks team for the annual event.
Free agency is the main course, though. Mavs fans have been dreaming up scenarios of players the team may add for months. All-Star targets like Kemba Walker jump to mind first. The Mavericks could be heading in a different direction, though.
Mavs targeting multiple options
ESPN’s Zach Lowe reported that the Dallas Mavericks “appears to be focusing on mid-tier free agents — and not big fish — league sources say.”
That news could be a game-changer for the Mavs. Tim MacMahon added this to the conversation.
Seeing the Mavericks add multiple pieces rounds out their roster. Adding an All-Star would have left Dallas with a few holes and a below average bench. Now, they have a chance to be one of the deepest teams in the NBA. The Mavericks need to be smart and maximize their cap space to achieve this goal.
The fact that they are targeting multiple players gives fans additional scenarios to digest. Will the Mavs sign Patrick Beverley? What wings will they target? Does Dallas add a center? Those are just three of a plethora of questions that will be answered in the coming days.
