Not content with just acquiring Dereck Lively II on Draft night, the Mavericks made another move. They acquired C Richaun Holmes and the 24th overall pick in the draft with the trade exception they got from trading Davis Bertans, which they used to select Olivier-Maxence Prosper from Marquette. The Get Right’s live reaction is in the video above.

Let's go Mavs
Holmes is gonna start for you Day 1 because you gotta let Lively develop his skills in the Summer League and see what he can do. Dallas still needs to find takers for THJ and McGee since they're making the bulk of the money. THJ making $17.8M and McGee at $13M. So the Mavericks are not done making moves per Nico. We need to get Kyle Kuzma in a S&T and sign Grant Williams to the MLE. Once you do that, then your roster is set for a really special run next season. You still gotta re sign Kyrie but it seems like he's gonna stay in Dallas as far as what Cuban said. Then your roster would look like this for Day 1:
PG Luka Doncic
SG Kyrie Irving
SF Kyle Kuzma
PF Grant Williams
C Richaun Holmes
Bench:
PG Jaden Hardy
SG Josh Green
SF Reggie Bullock
PF Maxi Kleber
C Dereck Lively
PG Frank Ntilikina
SG Theo Pinson
SF O Max Prosper
PF Markieff Morris
C Dwight Powell
PG McKinley Wright
SG AJ Lawson
They will resign Powell as our starting center for the next 5 yrs
Thanks guys! Good job!
Who gonna gaurd wemby
Nico has been listening to me… He drafted jaden hardy last year…. This year he drafted dereck lively… Now we need to sign jerami grant & bruce brown asap then we'll be ready to contend for a championship 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
KYLE KUZMA IS GOOD BUT JERAMI GRANT IS A WAY BETTER FIT HE DOESN'T NEED THE BALL TO BE EFFECTIVE 💪🏿….
holmes is better than Dwight that's all that matters.
Even if those picks don't pan out, still really good moves from the front office.
the mavs off season so far has kicked off very strong. they still got a lot of work to do but you got to be happy with what they did so far. i remember many of people criticized the mavs for tanking the season last year but look how that worked out. it was a genius insightful move, that probably transform this roster to a much better level of talent. great job by the mavs front office.
