Mavs Shake Up Draft, Trade Pick 10 to Thunder

Mavericks Embark on New Era

Deal Includes Veteran Bertans

Dallas, TX - The Dallas Mavericks made a bold move tonight, sending their 10th overall draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for veteran Davis Bertans. The move signals a shift in strategy for the Mavericks, who are embarking on a new era under head coach Jason Kidd.

Bertans, a 6'10" forward, provides the Mavericks with a much-needed boost in shooting. He has averaged 11.0 points per game over the past three seasons, shooting 40.4% from three-point range. His arrival should help to spread the floor for Luka Dončić and Kristaps Porzingis, giving the Mavericks more offensive firepower.
