Draft and Assistant Coaches

So draft day is 3 days away and the Mavericks have a second round (No. 51) pick that they got from the Kidd trade, which they traded their first round pick in the deal. Let's hope they can get a steal from this pick or somehow deal around the league to get a better pick, maybe a trade of a few of the veterans that give the team absolutely nothing but warm seats during the regular season.

Former head coaches Dwane Casey and Terry Stotts are in Dallas finalizing contract details and preparing for next week’s NBA Draft.

It's also news that Mario Elie and Popeye Jones are expected to stay on the assistant coaches staff to work alongside Carlisle. Both worked with Avery Johnson during his coaching years.
