I like aj the most he is a massive guard, good defender and I am just very worried about how many lower body injuries Peterson has
AJ Dybantsa would be my pick but I wouldn’t mind either of those guys. With that being said do not sleep on Caleb Wilson and Nate Ament.
2 AJ
You aint getting top 3 especially with taking
I'd be hella happy with Keaton Wagler. Fit in great with Flagg and Christie imho.
#1 pick coming our way to complete the Luka payment
Kingston Flemming fit the team the Best
As a Mavs and Duke fan, I am BEGGING the Mavs to not draft Boozer. The dude is too big for his body and he’s slow as hell. Has no heart. Easily frazzled. Cannot handle physical or intangible pressure. Whoever drafts him is going to get a guy who will NEVER reach his ceiling.
I'd love Aj or Peterson. I really don't see the fit of Cooper and Boozer when both are best suited at the 4
I think Wilson will be just as good or better than Boozer. Him running with Flagg would be deadly!
Meleek Thomas with cooper flag and get Aj Jhlil at second round
Bro as a Dallas mavericks fan chill out, we were targeted cause coach and owner made comments that were tone deaf, tanking has always existed, we were just to open about it.
There are at least 12 players I would be happy to have. We are going to get someone great to go along Cooper Flagg because I believe they will be rewarded another top pick for not intentionally trying to tank games. And there are 4 players in top tier, add Caleb Wilson
They need a athletic player or a pure shooter.
Whoever the Mavs get we acquire BECAUSE WE TRADED LUKA.
From my perspective the trade is
Luka for
The 2026 pick
Flagg
Christie
The LA pick
The OKC pick
Four “likely” 2nd round picks
And ever we acquired that we ordinarily would not have had we kept Luka….i. E.
Jones, Bagley, Middleton, Nembhard, etc.
plus of course the 70/M in cap space.
Losing Luka hurts but life goes on.
Hoping for the impossible.
A reunion once he realizes that LA ain’t his kind of town.
Dallas fans are just better.

Need a PG so that Tyus can mentor and then come off the bench eventually.
BTW in a humorous fantasy. With Tyus, Kyrie, Cooper, Marvin and hopefully Cam Boozer, the Mav's starting five would all be from Duke.
D.Peterson or Alijah Arenas both are 6'6 big guards that can create for themselves and others
Don’t sleep on Wilson
For number 30 I think we should draft a bench scorer for sure
I feel like Peterson would be my pick however aj and cam are great picks as well. I feel like Peterson can benefit the most bc he’s a guard next to kyrie which would be amazing for him to develop fast and really understand the game at a high level with Kyrie mentoring him.
2. We don’t need to consider Anyone who can’t stand up health wise to a 13 game ncaa game
This gotta be the they’re stupidest drive and now you’re ever seen knowing the Atlanta Hawks have opportunity to have two top five pics the number one and the number three
Personally, I would likely want to take dybantsa, as he is someone who can do it all. He can shoot the three ball amazing, play amazing defense, pass the rock, and rebound. He is the best overall player in this draft in my opinion, you could have the next Jaylen brown, Jayson Tatum duo with Flagg and dybantsa.

The Next Luka has arrived.. and he’s only a freshman..

We want Caleb Wilson 😬
I hope we draft AndrejStojakovic
We will end up Drafting Acuff or Wagler mark my words….. I would love to have Wilson also to pair with Flagg too if we get 4th
I believe wilson will get drafted before Boozer JS
Do we have a 2026 first roind pick?
