## Resource

The Dallas Mavericks are at a crossroads with the ninth pick in the NBA Draft—should they stay put or trade down for more picks? Focusing on building around rising star Cooper Flagg, the team could unlock greater flexibility by swapping picks for multiple selections, allowing them to address key roster weaknesses with shooters and defensive bigs. This strategic move could transform their roster, create spacing for Flagg, and prevent him from being an island—ultimately building a deeper, more versatile contender.
