Show notes
The 2026 NBA Draft is approaching, and the Dallas Mavericks face crucial decisions with the 9th overall pick. Who should the Mavs target to build around stars like Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg, and how will this impact their future in the NBA?
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit), Isaac Harris (@IsaacLHarris), & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased) break down the latest draft rumors, examining prospects such as Kingston Flemings, Darius Acuff Jr., Keaton Wagler, Mikel Brown Jr, and more. The conversation covers rising and falling mock drafts, realistic draft scenarios, and what the future holds for Mavs players like Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, and Naji Marshall. The hosts analyze coaching changes, front office moves, and discuss notable NBA teams and prospects, including Brooklyn, Sacramento, Cooper Flagg, and the potential for bold trades or draft surprises. Mavericks Owner Patrick Dumont and Team President Masai Ujiri are referenced as the franchise enters a new era.
