I really think Mavs fans need to get over the PTSD of the 2020 NBA draft. We have a real front office now. This isn't a gambler running the draft because he's buddies with the owner, these are real NBA professionals where we can see their track record for which players they like
Dak Prescott said that Quinnen Williams reminded the team that he’s been in the league seven years and hasn’t made the playoffs.
Dak: “I told him I’ll get you to the playoffs, but I need you to go help us win it.”

Jama Mahlela, in addition to having a long history with Masai Ujiri and the Raptors, served as a top assistant to Steve Kerr with the Warriors and won the championship with them in 2022.
He was also once considered a potential successor to Kerr in Golden State.
Does Minnesota want Nikola Jokic to be a scorer or passer? How should it defend Jamal Murray and limit Michael Porter Jr. in transition? 🤔
#Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori runs through possible adjustments for Game 2 against the Nuggets. #WolvesBack
University of Houston guard Kingston Flemings was in Dallas today to audition for the Mavericks before next week's NBA Draft, league sources tell @DLLS_Sports.
The Mavs hold the No. 9 selection.
Difficult day for the Jazz on the optics front: Here you have Darryn Peterson refusing to work out for the team with the No. 2 pick, one year after Ace Bailey did the same (when they had No. 5).
Meanwhile, sources tell @TheAthletic that a player who does want to be there - big man Walker Kessler - is at odds with the front office over his lack of an extension offer last summer and the current handling of his restricted free agency.
More to come…
The known head coach candidates for the Dallas Mavericks consist of “Nori, Houston's Royal Ivey, Toronto's Jama Mahlalela, Boston's Tony Dobbins and former Hawks, Bucks and Blazers head coach Terry Stotts,” per @TheSteinLine
