The offseason for the Dallas Mavericks is set to kick off with the 2025 NBA draft on June 25, where it's anticipated that Cooper Flagg will be the top selection. As the Mavericks look to reshape their roster, the shooting guard position is notably critical due to the recent trade of Luka Doncic to Los Angeles, which changes the dynamic of the starting lineup.

Klay Thompson is expected to take the starting role at shooting guard, marking a return to the position after a lengthy stint at small forward. Max Christie also figures prominently in the shooting guard rotation, having shown flashes of potential with averages of 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in his initial games with the Mavericks. However, the Mavericks' roster lacks traditional guards capable of excelling away from the ball, necessitating depth exploration during free agency.
