Mavericks Dump Bertans, Add Promising Rookies. Nico Harrison dropped from 10 to 12 and still got Duke Center Dereck Lively II. The Mavs general manager also freed up $17 million in cap space ahead of next season (and $16 million for 24-25) by sending Davis Bertans to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Prosper’s game is chaos. Mike Piellucci will have more today, but Mavs fans have to be happy with draft night.
