🚨BOMBSHELL REPORT: Mavericks FAVORITES To Land Chris Paul In 2025 NBA Free Agency | Mavs Rumors

[Music] Welcome into Mavericks today by chat sports. Jeffrey Cooperstein here with you guys. Happy hump day. We are about halfway through the week and Mark Stein came out with a report that said the Mavericks are looking to add a capable starter who can transition to a reserve once Kyrie returns from that torn ACL. Kyrie, of course, looking to return around January, maybe February. It wouldn’t shock me if he didn’t return in the first half of the season leading up to the 2026 NBA All-Star break, which means he could miss approximately 50 to 60 games. We will get into that report here in just a moment. But before we do, I want to ask you guys to hit that subscribe button if you haven’t already. We’re covering the latest Mavericks news and rumors all throughout the 2025 NBA offseason. Whether it’s Cooper Flag, whether it’s Chris Paul, who we’re going to talk about here in just a moment, or whether it’s anything surrounding the Mavericks, we have you covered here on the channel. So, hit that sub button. It’s youtube.com/mavsstev. Our goal is to get to 32,500 subs as soon as possible. All right, let’s jump right into today’s show where Chris Paul has been named the odds on favorite to sign with the Dallas Mavericks. And he’s minus 120 according to Bovada to sign with the Mavs here in 2025 NBA free agency. And when you really take a look at it, it absolutely makes sense. Chris Paul played 82 games last season at age 39 with the San Antonio Spurs. started all 82 of those games as well. Averaged almost nine points, 7 and a half assists, shot 43% from the field and almost 38 from three. And where with the given where the Mavericks are as far as their luxury tax and their status goes with the salary cap, I really think Chris Paul makes a ton of sense for this Mavericks team. And one thing I know about Chris Paul, he makes his teammates better. And at the end of the day, that’s what the Mavericks are looking for in their point guard. They’re not looking for someone to go dominate the ball like Luca did and score 30 points. And while Luca is great, he’s my favorite player, so I don’t want to make this seem like I’m on Luca, they want someone who’s going to facilitate the ball and go get guys open looks, go get Cooper flag in advantageous positions, go find Klay Thompson open for a three. That’s kind of what they’re looking for in their point guard. And this lines up with the Mavericks thinking of what they want to do as far as upgrading their roster in free agency. They want someone who like Chris Paul can absolutely start games. He can play 25 to 27 minutes a night. They they’re looking for someone who once Kyrie comes back could transition into being a backup point guard. And with Chris Paul who turned 40 on May 6, that’s kind of the guy who I think he is at this point in time. And Paul is someone that who’s done it for all different kinds of teams in this league. He’s done it with a young and athletic team with the Clippers. He’s done it with a veteran team um or done it with a veteran team who went to the finals in Phoenix. He’s done it with an upand cominging team in OKC. And so I think he could absolutely fill this role for the Mavericks. And when you take a look at what the Mavericks kind of salary cap situation is. This was posted by Bobby Mark. Shout out to him. He’s a fantastic front office insider for ESPN. And he put this out on the day of the lottery. So the Maverick’s projected salary right now is currently at 200 million. And the second apron is at 207.8 million. If you look down in the bottom right, the Mavericks have that tax mid-level exception at 5.6 million. So Chris Paul can fit into that and the Mavericks would still be below that second apron threshold. So it’s something that the Mavericks absolutely can explore, something that the Mavericks uh could execute with relative ease, and they wouldn’t have to give up any assets to go get Chris Paul either. And that’s what I think is the most attractive thing about him. Like there are guys like Lonzo Ball who are out there or other names that the Mavericks would have to trade for who may be better players, but you’d have to be giving up assets for them. And with Paul here, I think you don’t he he’s the most attractive option because you don’t have to give up those assets. Like I do think Lonzo and Drew Holiday are in play for the Mavericks, but if I had to guess right now, I think CP3 is the Mavs preferred option. We’re about a month and change away from the start of 2025 NBA free agency. And I guess we we’ll probably know before then whether or not the Mavericks trade for Lonzo Ball or Holiday. I think that move would be made prior to free agency starting, but we’ll see what happens with the Mavericks in their point guard situation. I think CP3, as we sit right here on May 28th, is the favorite. Should the Mavs sign Chris Paul? That is our poll question on today’s show. If you think they should, type S for sign. If you think they shouldn’t type P for pass. Let me know down in the comments section. You may get hit with a YouTube ad break here in just a couple of seconds. And while that happens, go on down there and get your votes in should the Mavs sign Chris Paul. Some other options for the Mavericks that could be um down the pipeline. We talked about Lonzo Ball, which would obviously be a trade. He’s making $10 million next year and has a team option for 10 million in the following season. So, the Mavs would have to give up some assets to go get Lonzo Ball. some other free agents that are available. Dennis Shruder, who I think’s a pretty good player, but we know that the Mavericks don’t exactly have the best history with Dennis Shruder, specifically Dirk Nitzky doesn’t have the best history with Dennis Shruder, and I do think that would make a difference in whether or not the Mavericks would pursue him. Ben Simmons, I think, could be an attractive option, not on the taxpayer mid-level, but on the veteran minimum. Simmons is definitely someone that can move the ball. He can run an offense, and he’s also an excellent defender as well. He’s basically a 7 foot point guard and you know the Mavericks love their length and athleticism especially on the defensive end. D’Angelo Russell I don’t think fits this thing whatsoever. He’s an inefficient shot chucker who’s going to make more than the taxpayer mid-level probably. So I would pretty much immediately rule him out. And then Malcolm Brogden is someone that I know the Mavericks have had interest in before. I’m just not sure he fits exactly what they’re trying to do here at the moment. So, there are certainly options for the Mavericks, and I am curious to see what Nico Harrison does here because they absolutely need to add a point guard. They already have Brandon Williams on the roster, who I do like, but I think is more of a backup option. I don’t think you want to start Brandon Williams every night if you don’t have to. And look, if the Mavs are going to try to get back into the postseason this year, I think they have to go upgrade at the point guard position. I don’t think Luca is or uh not Luca, excuse me. I don’t think Brandon Williams and whoever else, whether it’s Dante Axom or Jaden Hardy is enough. I really don’t. So, we’ll see what the Mavs end up trying to do there at the point guard position. I think that’s the biggest story line of the off season so far. Another reminder to hit that subscribe button if you haven’t already.

Hit that sub button right now. All right, let’s get to the latest on the Mavericks coaching staff as we had a couple of reports come out from that. So, let’s jump right into those. John Gamidoro, who is one of the most trusted sources when it comes to Phoenix sports in general, tweeted this out yesterday. He said, “Hearing Dallas assistant Shawn Sweeney is headed to Phoenix to interview in person for the head coaching job of the Phoenix Suns tomorrow, which would be today.” I think Shawn Sweeney would be an excellent choice for the Phoenix Suns. He’s a really good guy and he knows how to run a defense for sure. He’s been the on the head of the Mavericks bench during Jason Kidd’s four years at the helm. So, I think he’s been in multiple head coaching cycles before and maybe this is the one that would fit him. Maybe he could get the best out of Devin Booker. We’ll see if he can convince Kevin Durant to stay, but uh it’d be a tall task for him, but I think this would be a fantastic opportunity for Sean Sweeney going forward. And then some stiff named Chuck Cooperstein. I don’t know who this loser is, but he said in my opinion, almost assuredly Josh Brohammer would be appointed to the front of the bench. He’s been the main offensive guy for the last year and a half and like Sweeney has a long-term relationship with Jay Kidd going back to his days with the Milwaukee Bucks. So, Brohammer, who has been in charge of the Mavs offense basically since the trade deadline of 2024 leading up and that coincides with the Maverick’s run to the NBA Finals. It sounds like he is going to be the replacement for Shan Sweeney should he leave and they’ll promote Brohammer to the front of the bench. We know that kid values familiarity on his staff. That’s why he brought Shawn Sweeney with him. That’s why he had Jared Dudley on the bench for the last couple of seasons. And that’s why he’s kept the likes of God, Sham God, um, and Daryl Armstrong, who’s no longer on the staff for other reasons, but that’s why he they were holdovers from the other staff. He absolutely values familiarity. Frank Vogle is also a coaching consultant with the Mavericks, so he likes to keep his circle tight, so it wouldn’t shock me whatsoever if Brohammer was promoted. And the coaching staff is going to have a little bit of a shakeup. Alex Jensen, who was on the bench last season, went to the University of Utah to become their head coach. Sean Sweeney is a prime coaching candidate for the Phoenix Suns. It looks like he’s made uh to through to the final round of that. And then Daryl Armstrong, who was let go by the Mavericks for some legal reasons. So, the Mavs are definitely going to have a shakeup next season. And my guess, and this is I know this is really going out on a limb here. I would say Brohammer and Vogle are on the staff next season. Frank Vogle obviously a 2020 NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and Brohammer who has been the assist uh been an assistant with Jason Kidd for a long time. I think those guys are going to end up on staff next season and that’s where the Mavericks will go from there. Maybe they bring another outside guy as well, but if I had to guess, those would be the two guys who I think are on staff next season. I want you to grade Jason Kid as a head coach for me before we get on out of here. Scale it from one to 100. If you think he’s the worst coach in NBA history, type one. If you think he’s the best coach in NBA history, type 100. I’d probably put him somewhere in the high 70s to low 80s. But let me know what you guys think down below. That is going to be it for today’s show, guys. Appreciate you for tuning in to Braavix Today here by Chat Sports. And of course, if anything happens, we will have you covered here on the channel. So stay locked in and we’ll see you soon. [Music]
