Locked On Mavericks - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Mavs

The Dallas Mavericks spent an entire offseason retooling around Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving, but what if none of it actually moves the needle? Nick Angstadt and Bobby Karalla ask the Dallas Mavericks and Mavs questions they've been afraid to answer all summer, and Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving are at the center of almost every one of them.
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) is joined by DLLS Mavs' Bobby Karalla to dig into whether the Mavs whiffed on their entire offseason class, who actually guards opposing guards now that Caleb Martin is still the team's best perimeter defender, and whether Dereck Lively II can ever stay decently healthy. They also debate whether Cooper Flagg is really a small forward or a positionless four, and how fragile the Mavs' improved fan vibes really are heading into a brutal early schedule. Naji Marshall, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, Zaccharie Risacher, and Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri all come up along the way.
0:00 Did The Mavs Miss This Offseason?
9:15 Who Guards Opposing Guards
17:05 Can Lively Stay Healthy
26:00 Is Cooper Flagg A Small Forward
30:10 Can The Vibes Survive A Slump

The Dallas Mavericks are heading into a pivotal season, with questions swirling about Cooper Flagg's development, Kyrie Irving's health, and where the Mavs actually rank across the NBA. A new fan power-rankings breakdown has Dallas sitting at 21st overall, and not everyone agrees with the grade attached to their offseason.
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased) break down that ranking and revisit an offseason shaped by first-year Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri and GM Mike Schmitz. They dig into why Santi Aldama is viewed as the only proven rotation piece added this summer, how much Marcus Sasser could grow into a bench difference-maker, and what Dallas gets back with Dereck Lively II and Naji Marshall healthy. The conversation also covers Daniel Gafford's frontcourt fit, what losing Klay Thompson means for the roster, and how the Mavericks compare to teams like the Warriors, Suns, Blazers, and Jazz heading into the season.

The Dallas Mavericks are facing new questions about their No. 9 pick, and Mavs fans are far from settled on whether Morez Johnson Jr. or Braden Burries was the right call. Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks headline a Mavs offseason full of debate as the NBA gears up for a new season.
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) breaks down the latest Locked On Mavs fan survey, digging into why so many Mavs fans still think Morez Johnson Jr. was the wrong pick at No. 9, whether the Naji Marshall contract extension will look smart by year one, and who should start alongside Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg. Max Christie, PJ Washington, Sergio De Larrea, and Santi Aldama all factor into the starting lineup debate, while Masai Ujiri, Mike Schmitz, and Dusty May face fan scrutiny of their own.

The Dallas Mavericks starting lineup is still very much up in the air, and Mavs fans have strong opinions on who should join Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg on the floor. Would trading Kyrie Irving for more draft assets actually speed up Dallas' rebuild around Cooper Flagg, or is that a mistake the Mavericks and the NBA world would regret?
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit), Isaac Harris (@IsaacLHarris), & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased) break down the latest Locked On Mavs fan survey, covering the Mavericks' starting five, Naji Marshall's contract extension, and reaction to the team's ninth overall pick. They dig into where Max Christie, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, and Dereck Lively II fit into head coach Dusty May and GM Mike Schmitz's plans for the roster. Sergio De Larrea and Marcus Sasser also come up as the crew debates who can create offense beyond Dallas' two stars this season.
