The NBA Draft Combine is a key point in the off-season. It’s the last major event before the draft where all 30 teams have officials in one place. Although the main reason for the gathering is to interview and get athletic measurements on prospective draftees, trying to determine the priorities and thinking of teams with a variety of options is its subtext.
The Mavericks are one such team whose priorities are being sussed out. Dallas possesses both a high draft pick and significant salary cap room in an off-season where salaries are largely expected to remain flat relative to recent years.
