Mavericks free agent series: Why Dallas owes it to fans to shoot its shot for Klay Thompson

The Mavericks' run of bad draft-lottery luck continued on May 14 and as a result they won't have a first-round draft pick on June 20, though they do have a second-rounder, No. 37 overall.

Most of the Mavericks' focus now turns to the start of free agency, which in past years has begun at 11:01 p.m. central time on June 30, but reportedly will begin at 5 p.m. central on June 30 this year.

Most projections are that the Mavericks will have $29.4 million to $37.9 million to spend on free agency. The lower figure factors in the potential of Dwight Powell enacting his $10.
