Mavericks are looking for point guard to fill Irving s vacancy! Targets are locked in Brown s big goal, US media suggests signing Paul at a basic salary

On May 26, there is about a month left before the 2025 NBA Draft. According to US media reports, the Mavericks, who won the No. 1 pick this year, intends to seek a starting point guard to fill the vacancy in Irving's absence, and potential players involved include Lonzo Ball and Bruce Brown.

At the end of the regular season of this season, Mavericks guard Irving suffered a torn cruciate ligament on his left knee. He is expected to return in January of the new season. As a result, the Mavericks are actively seeking to strengthen a point guard, whether through the trading market or through free agent signing, which is their current priority.

According to famous reporter Marc Stein, the Mavericks hope to introduce a starting point guard. Once Irving returns from injury, the defender can be transformed into a supporting role in the future. And this candidate is currently locked in the two, they are Bruce Brown and Lonzo Ball. Bruce Brown's contract expires and he will become a free agent; Ball's contract is still two years away from expiration, with a salary of $10 million in the next two seasons.

In addition, Mavericks media MFFL NATION also gave another option, which is veteran Paul. They hope that Paul can help Flagg to better compete in the NBA. MFFL NATION released a composite picture of Paul wearing the Mavericks jersey, with the caption: "Should the Mavericks sign a veteran's basic salary contract with Paul this offseason?"
