Why Naji Marshall's Extension is ANOTHER BET by the Dallas Mavericks

Episode 3098 Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago

Description

The Dallas Mavericks made one of the boldest bets of their NBA offseason, handing Naji Marshall a three-year extension that has Mavs fans split on whether it's a bargain or a risk. Cooper Flagg's growth, Kyrie Irving's return, and Dallas' plan for building a real contender all hang in the balance as the front office commits real money to its supporting cast.

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit), Isaac Harris (@IsaacLHarris), & Slightly Biased (Slightly Biased) break down what Naji Marshall's new deal means for the Mavericks going forward, comparing his three-point shooting struggles to players like Zion Williamson and Evan Mobley. The trio also digs into how Mavs GM Mike Schmitz and the new front office are reshaping the roster around Cooper Flagg, weighing in on Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, Dereck Lively II, and Klay Thompson's places on the team. Plus, they preview the looming decision on Zaccharie Risacher's rookie option and what it could signal for a bigger Mavericks move down the road.

**CORRECTION: Naji Marshall Rated GOOD as a Pick & Roll Ball Handler last season, but POOR as a Pick & Roll Ball Handler DEFENDER... Nick was wrong...
