The Dallas Mavericks have made significant strides in the offseason by securing long-term contracts for Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford, while also bringing in top draft pick Cooper Flagg. With Irving sidelined for an extended period due to an ACL injury, the Mavericks are now focused on addressing their point guard depth. General Manager Nico Harrison is optimistic about attracting veteran free agents to bolster their roster.

As the Mavericks navigate free agency, they have limited financial flexibility but can utilize the taxpayer mid-level exception. Possible targets include Malcolm Brogdon, known for his shooting accuracy but coming off an injury, and Ty Jerome, a promising shooter. Chris Paul and D'Angelo Russell are intriguing options as well, with the latter being favored to join the Mavericks. The team's strategy will be pivotal as they look to maintain competitiveness in a challenging Western Conference.
