Let's talk about the rest of the Dallas Mavericks. A bit of an overview of their season, their team, their leaders, all of that stuff. It's coming up. Mike Bolton.

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here. And it's time for another episode of the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast. Let's get to it. Let's get to it. Indeed.

You are Locked- Fantasy, your daily NBA Fantasy podcast, part of the Locked On

Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hello and welcome to the Locked On Fantasy Basket Podcast, brought to you by Basketball Monster.

My name is Josh Lloyd, and I have an advanced degree in interpretive dance.

We're looking at the Mavs. We looked at them yesterday. We'll look at them again today.

Well, actually, maybe two days ago. I can't remember the exact schedule. If you want to know,

because I updated you late on the show yesterday, where I am currently in the world, Carmen San Diego Star. I believe I am on my final day in Amsterdam. I think that's where I am. So again, if you see me around, say hi. But I'm sure you won't because I don't think many people from the Amsterdam region are watching this show. But that's okay, don't have to be, because you are, and I love you for. Let's talk Mavericks. Let's get into this team. Again, the draft lottery has been run and won, and I don't know who they've got, actually. I don't know who they picked. They may have also fired Jason Kidd by now. Um, uh, gods be good. But I don't know that.

Let's take a look at the team.

Say look at what happened during the course of the season.

They were 26 and 56 for a team that decided we needed to go push all in.

Tradeaway, Luca Donchis, let's get our title window really happening.

Worked out well.

Negative 5.3 net rating, 23rd overall that was in the league.

Anthony Davis was hurt, no surprise. Kyrie Irving didn't play at all. The Davis trade return was nothing. But they did get Kriberflag, obviously. And maybe they've got a better pick in this

draft. I don't know. They had the eighth best odds prior to the lottery, so that's all I can put up there.

They also have pick 30 and pick 48, so it's an okay picks there as well. That they can maybe, well, at least pick 30. And Maasai has always cooked in that back-end 20s range of draft, so let's see if he's able to do that again. The Mavericks fans would hope that he can. But the big one is going to be, do they get lottery luck?

Do they get pushed down to like pick 10 or so? You know, I don't. Let me know, though. Please tell me, please. Free agents, what do they need to worry about in the offseason? Ryan Nempard was a two-way player at the start of the season. He got converted to a full contract. He's got a $2.2 million team option, but it's one of those ones.

Remember that when Kidd decided he was going to start him and everyone was all pumped about him for fantasy. I was like, oh, that's somewhat interesting. I thought we had to grab him because Kid was in on it. But then, I think I mentioned this at the time, I think he was like their fourth starting point guard.

At that point, I do not trust any of this.

Because they'd already had Cooper flagged DeAngelo Russell and Brandon William starting there. And then Nempard just was found out basically. He's a very good assist player but can't do anything else. Shooting and scoring is a problem. We'll talk about him a little bit more later. Musa Csays, a two-way contract, restricted free agent. They're unrestricted guys, there are a few of them. Brandon Williams, who I just, I didn't really understand Jason Kidd's reticence with playing him. Marvin Bagley, Dwight Powell, and Chris Middleton. A lot of unks there. Now, Powell obviously is just a staple of this team.
