Also: @TheSteinLine has learned that new Mavericks coach Dusty May is also pursuing Garrett Temple for a spot on his first NBA coaching staff in the event that 16-year NBA veteran — who spent the past three seasons as a Toronto Raptor — elects to move into coaching.
Another hire for Dusty May's first NBA coaching staff: Joe Boylan.
After stints with five other NBA teams, including Memphis, Boylan was initially expected to reunite with Taylor Jenkins on his new Milwaukee staff. But l’m told Boylan is now Dallas-bound along with Willie Green.
The Dallas Mavericks announced their roster for the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League team today, headlined by 9th overall pick Morez Johnson Jr.
Dallas tips off SL against Johnson’s former Michigan teammate Yaxel Lendeborg and the Golden State Warriors on July 9 at 6 p.m. CT.
Source close to the talks tells @TheSteinLine regarding Spanish guard Sergio De Larrea coming directly to the NBA next season: "That is the plan."
De Larrea plays for Dallas' summer league team in Las Vegas next week after helping Valencia win the Spanish ACB crown last week.
Just in: Free agent guard Anfernee Simons has agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, with a player option in second season, sources tell ESPN. Simons chose the 76ers over other suitors believing his fit is perfect with the revamped 76ers roster.
Stein (@TheSteinLine) believes Josh Broghamer and Phil Handy will remain on Dusty May's coaching staff.
Frank Vogel is no longer with the Mavs, and Jay Triano is expected to join Micah Nori's staff in Portland.
The Mavericks have emerged as a suitor for Anfernee Simons, league sources say.
As @JakeLFischer reported yesterday, Golden State and Miami have continued to pursue the free agent scoring guard who finished last season with Chicago.
