The Mavs Haven’t Missed on ANYTHING Big in NBA Free Agency Yet | Dallas Mavericks Rumors
The Dallas Mavericks have been quiet in NBA free agency while teams like the Los Angeles Lakers are making massive moves — but is Dallas actually winning the offseason by staying patient? With Marcus Sasser reportedly headed to the Mavs, Sergio De Larrea coming over for summer league, and Kyrie Irving’s roster spot still needing reinforcement, Cooper Flagg’s supporting cast is very much a work in progress.
Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down every major free agency move so far, discussing why Dallas passed on Quentin Grimes, Colin Sexton, Sandro Mamukelashvili, and Walker Kessler — and why that patience could pay off. The guys debate whether the Los Angeles Lakers’ flurry of deals — trading multiple unprotected first-round picks for Walker Kessler and signing Quentin Grimes to a four-year, $60 million deal — actually makes them better around Luka Doncic heading into next season. The episode also covers the latest on Vsevolod Ishchenko and Ryan Nembhard heading to summer league alongside Sergio De Larrea, and where the Mavs’ mid-level exception could still be spent.

Cute baby, Isaac.
So they got more for him than the Mavs got for Luka!
If this was Donnie and Cuban, I'd be pissed they haven't done anything yet. I dunno. Is there a plan?
Let’s go get Simmons ppl forget as bad as our record was last year we were in a lot of those games you get kyri back and morez and bring in Simmons with sasser I think we can be competitive
Let get Rui
Lakers going on all in on that squad is beyond hilarious. They are coooooooooooked.
Slightly lost some weight and height.
This is just my opinion, but I've never thought of Dallas as a free agency team. The only big free agent I can remember was the sign and trade for Klay. Grant it, I'm a younger fan that didn't really get into the Mavs until 2018 in high school.
Not making moves after the atrocious season last season, kyrie coming off a torn ACL injury at 34yrs old, you need a LEGIT 2nd scorer, and a reliable healthy defensive big. Lively and gafford both injury proned. You HAVE to do SOMETHING. Good luck! 🙂
Little coop 😂
Norm Powell would have been nice! But oh well
Lakers are literally the great white hope
This is why morez is a shit pick. All the push back was mavs fans saying wait until free agency. There a no play makers in free agency .
Watching what is important in life… perhaps the handsomest child I have ever seen.
I'm guessing we roll into the season and see how it plays out unless a trade for a guard pops up that doesn't cost something crazy. Probably wanna see if Larry looks ready to be a backup pg in summer league. Might be planning on seeing where we're at when the trade deadline rolls around. Might be buyers or sellers at that point
I have a 7 week old son. My first born
Let’s trade Lively for DA with the Lakers 😂
The Lakers are much better than Dallas top to bottom. People forget Reeves and Luka without LeBron were on a 63-win pace. When LeBron came back, that fell to 46-wins. Dallas should worry more about their team than the Lakers. Luka made Ayton and Hayes both top 10 in field goal percentage in the league. Kessler is going to become an All-Star with Luka. Right now, the Lakers 4 centers are better than anything Dallas can put on the court. Then, they added Grimes who can drop 40 and Sexton who can score. Of course, there is Luka and Reaves. Both top 10 scorers in the league. Lakers are way ahead of Dallas.
You guys are so high with this new regime – it’s like they are geniuses every move is perfect
Respect to Isaac H …Real Dad move!! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
As a Mavs fan It's not sad at all watching things suck for Luka in LA. Isn't that what the fans want so he won't be happy in LA and he'll want to leave?
Naw, the Mavs are missing out. You can’t be trying to get Marcus Sasser but not be mad about Colin Sexton at that price 😂😂.
I don't trust you guys. I don't trust ppl who didn't hoop growing up. The Mavs missed big on Colin Sexton.
You guys where so high on this new regime, and they have done NOTHING lol
Could have probably got Norm Powell for around 22m a year.
Is this Slighty Replacement? Thought he was a bit quiet tho
Why didn't we get those same damn picks for Luka 😢. We got screwed!
Yeah, sometimes doing nothing can save your job.
I think we Mavs fans need to keep realigning to the timeline here. The first step isn’t a lottery team to 2nd round of the playoffs. This is multi-year and patience will win the day. We can’t fix everything in one off season. The strategy for now is don’t make stupid mistakes that reduce flexibility, and opportunistically add assets when opportunities open up. Just having Kyrie back will drastically make the team more compelling.
This whole sasser thing is really starting to bug me if we’re gonna trade for him might as well keep b will it makes no sense he isn’t ever going to be a real player in the nba sasser got the remaining two years before he playing overseas
trade pj and whoever for jaren jackson jr
Typical Mavs F.a. Opening. No one wants to come here still. They have to be forced by trade.
Should we just trade Klay, Martin, AJ, 1 first for Tyler Herro?
“Keeping the powder dry”…😂😂😂😂
