NBA Analysis Network

The top priority for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA offseason will be to make a change at the center position. They feel a need to bolster their rim protection and rebounding capabilities.

There will be plenty of center options on the market for teams needing to address the position to consider. Rudy Gobert could be on the move, Myles Turner is a name to watch, and other options like Mitchell Robinson and Mo Bamba will hit free agency.

Among the options for the Mavericks to consider is Sacramento Kings big man Richaun Holmes. He will draw interest from no shortage of potential suitors with teams like the Toronto Raptors and Charlotte Hornets being linked with trade interest in recent years.

The Kings no longer factor Holmes in as their center of the future after they used a blockbuster midseason trade to acquire Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers. Now, it doesn’t make sure to pay such a premium for a talent that cannot play alongside their starter.
